Duncan, I am sorry. I knew youwere Duncan, but I looked at Kim’s comment and still THINKING Duncan, typed in Dustin. My bad. If it helps, my excuse is that I am sick today.

Off-topic: Proofreading is going to always be the bane of my existence as long as continue to blog and comment…apologizes…but thanks to Kim and Mary for making me feel better by calling me Dustin. Oh the good ole days, when my friend and better looking twin, Dustin was called Duncan and I was called Dustin. It is always a compliment for me.

"what has been going on borders on CONDEMNING the goverment before they even get a chance." What has been going on here is criticising the government for something that have already done. This has not been criticism about any future actions.

"I thought at that point that Martin would do a better job"

Better than who, and why do you think he didn't?

Oh and BTW I voted for Martin in the last election (not htis past one…the one before)…so I thought at that point that Martin would do a better job since the PC/Reformers weren’t very organized. BOY was I WRONG!

Personally, I think being concerned about govermental issues is fantastic…BUT what has been going on borders on CONDEMNING the goverment before they even get a chance. I think that is completely wrong. I really have no opinion on the Emerson thing since I do not live in his riding. Do any of you?

I think he should resign. It was just wrong what he did and you are right Dustin, totally unfair to his constituents who voted him in, in good faith. And according to the evidence, the polls and the history they voted for him because he was liberal, not for himself. Many didn’t even know who he was. He owes it to them to show some integrity.

Don’t count on it Dustin; he refuses to give back the money.

At what point is it ok to comment on the new government? I personally think that political engagement is a preferable to political apathy. If the new government does something you don’t like, then comment on it, discuss it and don’t worry about the people tell you to keep your mouth shut and quit whining.

It was discussed before that many Canadians vote for the party more so than the candidate. So, when you are a candidate representing a party and you are voted in, switching parties right after the election is a betrayal of your constituency. Shame on the Conservatives for asking the Liberal MP David Emerson to switch, but bigger shame on the Mr. Emerson – that is just like spitting in the face of all the people how voted him in because he represented the Liberal party. I hope his riding gets back every penny put into running his “Liberal” campaign.
