The candidate will be a "nobody".MgShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11183962674882855323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7207011.post-3413522805202024092006-10-22T13:24:00.000-07:002006-10-22T13:24:00.000-07:00Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced today that...Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced today that by-elections will be held on Monday, November 27, 2006 in the riding of London North Centre (Ontario) and the riding of Repentigny (Quebec).<br /><br />Okay, so he parachuted Theocon Dianne Hasket into London North, who's the Religious Political Extremist he's got running in Repentingny?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7207011.post-54787938087937297302006-10-20T10:53:00.000-07:002006-10-20T10:53:00.000-07:00Wow, I am totally amazed at how blatant the Theo C...Wow, I am totally amazed at how blatant the Theo Con movement in the CPoC has become. With any luck the Canadian Public will figure this out before the next election and toss them out. Thankfully blogs like this and others are getting the word out, albeit to a bit more of a focused group than the general public. Now it is up to the blog readership to get this information out.....<br /><br />SBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7207011.post-18521409142112591932006-10-19T17:06:00.000-07:002006-10-19T17:06:00.000-07:00The former mayor of London, Diane Haskett has retu...The former mayor of London, Diane Haskett has returned to run as the CPoC candidate for London North from Washington, D.C. The request for her to run came from someone in Ottawa and the local CPoC chapter didn't even know about it till she showed up yesterday and registered, and to say the local chapter is not totally thrilled about it is an understatement. She was fined for not proclaiming Pride Day in London a few years ago and was heavily supported by the Theocons. She also attended prayer meetings where Muslims were castigated. All of this is being reported in the London Free Press, http://www.lfpress.com.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7207011.post-86655533844414610192006-10-19T11:08:00.000-07:002006-10-19T11:08:00.000-07:00I'll agree that Turner hasn't exactly "toed the pa...I'll agree that Turner hasn't exactly "toed the party line", and that plays into the events of the last few months to be sure.<br /><br />Given that theocons have been pushing out "social moderates" in that party since its Reform/Alliance days, and the recent attempt by McVety to push Turner over, I have to suspect that there's more at play here than "caucus discipline".MgShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11183962674882855323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7207011.post-70776565375463893132006-10-19T10:06:00.000-07:002006-10-19T10:06:00.000-07:00The other day I received an email from a fellow bl...The other day I received an email from a fellow blogger, asking me what I thought about the Garth Turner situation. I replied as follows...<br /><br /> "I only know what I see in the papers, but I think Garth is all about, well... Garth. He obviously feels his own needs, whether it's just ego, or a totally separate agenda, are more important than the party line."<br /><br /> Do I think he was unfairly booted out of caucus? Lemme put it this way... if he was an outlaw biker, he'd be lyin' in a shallow grave <a href="http://hallsofmacadamia.blogspot.com/2006/10/canadian-political-idol.html"> with a small hole behind his ear.</a>Neo Conservativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15899199108142365216noreply@blogger.com
