Liberals Nominate Woman to Challenge Emerson


Recommended Posts

http://www.cbc.ca/canada/british-columbia/...an-liberal.html

The woman who stepped aside to let Emerson run in 2004 is coming back to oust him. It isn't clear that Emerson is going to run again but I think this is one seat that the Liberals can win next election.

The icing on the cake would be if Emerson could take this riding, running openly and cleanly, as a Conservative.

  • Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone."
  • Always remember that when you are in the right you can afford to keep your temper, and when you are in the wrong you cannot afford to lose it. - J.J. Reynolds.
  • Will the steps anyone is proposing to fight "climate change" reduce a single temperature, by a single degree, at a single location?
  • The mantra of "world opinion" or the views of the "international community" betrays flabby and weak reasoning (link).

He could have done that immediately after resigning from the Liberal rather cross the floor. He can still do it now.

He has shown a contempt for the riding that will be hard to dismiss later on. Even people who voted Conservative there are not happy with him.

Bi-elections take time. Frankly, IMHO he was well-known enough that he was elected as David Emerson, not necessarily David Emerson - LPC.

Bi-elections don't take a lot of time. If he had resigned, Harper could have called an election immediately and he could have been in the job in a few weeks. If he won...

By your measures, Newmarket-Aurora (for the uninitiated Stronach's riding) needed a bi-election, oh, in May 2005.

You don't elect a party, get over it. It's not the way our system works.

Anyways, the NDP are sure to take the riding next election considering the people are upset enough with both parties. Count it a loss for the CPC and LPC.

I dunno about the NDP. They have been absent all summer from any meaningful discussions.
