Rafe Mair and Moe Sihota on Emerson
On the Early Edition this morning former MLA‘s and now political pundits Rafe Mair and Moe Sihota talk briefly about Emerson. A very rough transcript:
Mair: First of all, it was a cruddy thing he did (you can almost hear the but coming). Secondly, some of our friends are a little hypocritical (goes on to cite other floor crossers). Thirdly its too bad that a man with this quality [be dragged down] because he couldn’t get elected as dog catcher in any other constituency in Canada now. (his own fault)
Sihota: He knows full well that he’s done like dinner.
Mair: The time comes when you let it go… he’ll never get re-elected in Vancouver-Kingsway, we know that.
No doubt Mair and Emerson both would like people to drop their opposition and protests, but it isn’t going to happen. People of all political stripes are fed up with allowing those who swear to serve us, screw us.
Note: Emerson will be on CBC‘s On the Coast this afternoon at approximately 5:10pm where host Priya Ramu will pose listener questions to the undemocratic Minister. Got a question? Leave a message on the show’s Talk Back line, 604 662–6979.
