579...Tony Clement Backs Down

After saying earlier this week that he believed that Sudbury would become the "Valley of Death if Companhia Vale do Rio Doce hadn't purchased Inco Ltd. in 2006", Minister Clement, in conversation with Carol Mulligan of the Sault Star recanted stating that "Basically what I said was pretty bone-headed."

He also said, and I love this, wait for it, this is a beauty, he said that "I love Sudbury, I've always loved Sudbury."

Uh, yeah, right, sure you have.

Wait, no, you are lying.

For those that haven't been to Sudbury, it is like Regina, without all the bright lights and the glitter.

He did say that he wants Sudbury and the rest of Northern Ontario to succeed, which is reasonable, commendable and the right thing to say but "I love Sudbury?"

OMG.

570...Tony Clement SaysBad Things About Sudbury

So he must resign.

Two New Democrat MPs, a candidate for the Liberal nominationand a Laurentian University economist are calling on IndustryMinister Tony Clement to resign over what they say are misleading and disparaging remarks about the Nickel Capital. Mayor What's his name is pissed too.

What the Industry Minister told the Sudbury Star was that if Inco had not have been sold two and a half years ago it would have been shut down.

Apparently there is yet another strike in the nickel mines and Mr. Honourable was reacting to that.

How dare him be realistic.
