RE: Emerson is a morally
I am all for lynching floor crossers, but traitor? Traitor to whom? Allegiance is to the people of Canada, not a political party.

RE: Emerson is a morally
Oh, and I believe that the Hon. (eh, its his title no matter how ironic) David Emerson has already said that he will not be running a second time. I assume that means that he's not to worried about being "taught a lesson come next election."

RE: Emerson is a morally bank robed self-serving politician.
The people that voted for him expected Liberal Party representation no matter which side of the floor it was to come from. He obviously didn't get elected for his charm. I gotta admit that on him, the muzzle looks good.

Emerson's Crossing
The Honourable David Emerson, P.C., M.P., the Member for Vancouver Kingsway and the Minister for International Trade, should not have crossed to the Government of Canada, in particular so soon after an election — however, it was his right to do so, and citizens are represented by a member in the House of Commons, not by the banner over them.
It was his right, and it enables our parliamentary system to be flexible.

The precarious, flighty nature
of Emerson's loyalty is something to behold. Just days before he crossed the floor, he was berating the conservatives, and now he is one of them. I'm sure the extra $15,000 to $20,000 he will get as a cabinet minister had nothing to do with his decision.
Liberals can now say that Emerson was one of the things wrong with the Liberal party, and he is now one of the things wrong with the Conservative party. He's bought and paid for.

RE: Emerson is a morally
There is the deep integration deal to consider, that was his value to the reformers (cons) he has very valuable connections to Washington and the corporatists, that will be his project, this is bad for the people and good for the corporations, further enrichment of the capitalists. Minister for International Trade, that's a nice way to describe theft and corruption. His situation highlights the similaritys between the Liberal and the Conservative partys in that thier values are as interghangable as thier ministers, they serve corporations not citizens.

RE: Emerson is a morally
The problem with Mr. Emerson, just the same as Ms. Stronach, is that there are three primary elements that people vote for.
1) the candidate
2) the party
3) the leader
The candidate is only one element. If a Member of Parliament wishes to cross the floor, then that Member should step down and run in a by-election to receive their validation from his / her constituents.

"juan"Morally bankrupt perhaps,
but hardly a traitor.
----------------------------------------
Hey Juan, when someone tells you trust me I know the way to where you ant to go, and you place your trust (in this case your vote) on that some one and they take you out to an unknown place completely undesirable to you, Juan no matter how you slice the pie you have been betrayed by a traitor. And whether you choose to see this with a Vancouver Kingsway voters eyes or not the bottom line is there is a two pigs at the trough, Pig Emerson and Chicken Little Pig Harper.
Fact is fact and no one can argue with true fact, you can argue with self serving fact but not with true fact.
:wink: :lol: :wink:

Re: Emerson is a morally bank robed self-serving politician.
A Traitor,
is someone who sells military secrets or sensitive government documents to the enemy. Emerson is just a bought and paid for crooked politician who broke no laws but bartered his loyalty for a few sheckles. If the Liberals win the next election, they could probably buy him back again, if they wanted him.

Re: Emerson's Crossing
This is a day to go into the history books — rarely have I ever, if ever, been accused of neo-conservative bias. Whether or not we happen to agree with the law as it stands now, right now, it was, and is, the right of Members of Parliament to cross to another party, be it the government, the opposition or otherwise. Nobody stole anyone's vote — Mr. Emerson made a poor decision, but it was his decision to make, and he's going to be punished for it by the electorate.Liberty said:

Juan, If the Liberals win the next election which may happen, taking Rat Emerson back will be like dropping food in the toilet and then because of food shortage reaching in the fickle mess and eating it.
