765...Why So Hard On Elizabeth May?

I really enjoy it when you take time to comment and I especially enjoy it when you take time to sign your name to said comment. This is what the great Scott Tribe asked me in a comment attached to Post 760:

I'm kind of amused you're going after Elizabeth May so hard.
She's not the leader of the Conservatives.. or of the NDP,
nor does she have a seat. Why do you hold such an antipathy towards her?

As a Liberal who is environmetally [sic] conscious, despite
the Green Shift's failure, I don't mind having her as an ally.

I go after her for the same reason that fighter pilots liked to shoot up weather balloons and Zeppelins. It is easy.

I too am a Liberal, big time Liberal but frankly I don't find the Green Party very progressive; they are truly neo-cons/fascists. Read their national platform; it is very Lennonist, as in John "Everybody Is Wrong But Me" Lennon.

757...The Battle Of The Ministers

Le Droit this morning runs a story that there is a heavyweight battle to take place in Marlene Catterall's old riding of Ottawa West Nepean in the upcoming federal election.

The sitting Member is John Baird, Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities and he will be challenged yet again by David Pratt, former Minister of Defense under Prime Minister Paul Martin.

Honourable Conservative John Baird versus Honourable Liberal David Pratt.

Mr. Baird beat Mr. Pratt in 2008 by about 5,000 votes.

That was then.

This is now.
