Media Highlights for Friday February 24, 2006 â David Emerson
Updates to follow through the day
Feb 24 (Daniel Yeulett, Dundas Star News) Don’t take detour from democracy
The recent appointments of David Emerson and Michael Fortier to Cabinet remind me that the Conservatives are really not that much different than the Liberals. It is a political game they play that excludes the voter from his or her opinion.
Feb 24 (John Derringer, Toronto Sun) From The Hip
As I’d written many times in the last year, a huge number of Canadians were hesitant to vote for Stephen Harper because of a belief that politicians and their parties were, and are, “all the same.” David Emerson proves them right.
Feb 24 (Sandy Wiseman, Kamloops This Week) Reality can hit hard
The first person to be acting in a way some people didn’t think he would is new Prime Minister Stephen Harper. My heart goes out to former local Tory riding president Ted Joslin, who, at an age when most people are thinking rocking chair, is as keenly interested in his country and its future as any young Ottawa political junkie.
He has decided to leave the party he has supported since its inception because of the goings-on in Ottawa.
