She has stuck her foot in it again. As Warren Kinsella wrote this morning "We give you Cheryl Gallant. She’s always been a loon. She is a loon now. She always will be a loon. Why is anyone surprised?"
She usually keeps her mouth shut, which is good when you are a loon, but she did not last week in St. John's, Newfoundland. According to David Pugliese of the Ottawa Citizen this is what went down:
Conservative MP Cheryl Gallant is under fire for suggesting Newfoundlanders and Labradorians who make their living from the sea take more responsibility and not expect to be rescued by the coast guard if they run into trouble.
Explaining that those who operate on the Great Lakes and Ottawa River don't count on the coast guard for help, the Ottawa Valley MP told an audience in St. John's -including those who had lost relatives and fellow workers during maritime accidents -that it's up to local communities, the province and private companies to make more of an effort to help with rescues and perhaps finance such services.
Kind of par for the course. For Cheryl Gallant that is.
As a sidebar, for those of you that do not know the Ottawa Valley, it starts 20 minutes and 60 years outside of Ottawa.
