2222...Stephen Harper May Not Like Helena

But Simcoe-Grey Conservatives think she is more than allright and want head office to butt the f*ck out.

CTV.ca tells us that "Conservatives in Helena Guergis' riding are accusing their own party brass of heavyhanded tactics in trying to parachute a star candidate in to replace the former cabinet minister. The would-be candidate is well-known Conservative activist Kellie Leitch, an orthopedic surgeon at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto and director of the Health Sector MBA program at the University of Western Ontario's Richard Ivey School of Business."

Fact is, she is part of a local dynasty and well loved and liked in Simcoe-Grey.

In a lengthy letter to Prime Minister Stephen Harper, obtained by The Canadian Press, the Conservative electoral district association (EDA) in Simcoe-Grey complains of repeated interference, obstruction and gag orders by Conservative headquarters.

"We don't want to lose this seat in the next election. But head office personnel have deliberately interfered with, obstructed and circumvented our autonomy as an association, and our right to freely express our opinions," the executive members write. They single out one lad, Colin McSweeney, from head office as being a bit of a divisive element.

  1. I think they were quoted saying "she always brings the best blow to the parties".
