Seems we have a number of threads on Political parties - How about who in Politics are just not up to par - just not gettin it - Just plain ol blabber.
So off the top of my mind I nominate
Justin Trudeau
That Goof Fantino -
Throw in McKay
Bev Oda
Minister of Veteran Affairs - For his story line of BS and caring for the troops
Oh yes - Whats her name the NDP Temp filling in.
Last but not least - The Guy with his hands on the cookie jar - Tony " Big Spender" Clemente

Hey Goober- We could shorten this thread up a lot by just listing the ones who are not. I'll be back in a couple of hours with my nomination for one who's not.
Hold on youngster - A thread on good Politicians. From Fed to Municipal.
Going to be a mighty short list.
Yep, Gordon Gibson Sr. and Jr., Stanley Knowles, John Diefenbaker. (Moe Sihota doesn't quite qualify)
If dead ones count then we also have WAC Bennett. I was just trying to think of ones that are still breathing to some extent. Slimy Sihota is near top of the list of bad politicians in Canada. Just below Cretin and Trudeau but higher than Mulroney.
I'll see your Bill Casy and raise a Danny Williams.There was another good man from NB whose name escapes me at the moment,was ambassador to the US.

Pretty good list. I'd add Harper's bulldog Baird.
Unlikely buddies
In a House full of dissent, Irwin Cotler, human rights expert and veteran Liberal MP, and John Baird, career politician and Foreign Affairs Minister, have become friends.
“May I say that I regard John Baird as an exemplary Foreign Minister – a quick study, a command of the files, prepared to take action and advancing thereby issues of common cause in the pursuit of justice and human rights,” Mr. Cotler told The Globe.
As a member of the Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on International Human Rights, Mr. Cotler and Mr. Baird have worked together on issues concerning sanctions against Iran and Syria. In addition, Mr. Cotler is international legal counsel for imprisoned Egyptian blogger Maikel Nabil. Mr. Baird immediately called in the Egyptian Ambassador and has been “active on the case ever since,” Mr. Cotler says.
Oddly enough, Irwin Cotler would disagree:
Pull back the curtains for a look at what else goes in the House - The Globe and Mail
I can't stand Julian Fantino.
Nobody has mentioned Nicole Turmel??? What a joke!!!
Good politicians??
Preston Manning
Chuck Strahl
Deb Gray
Chuck Cadman
Hhmmmm - Seems to be a slight bias to the right???
Could that be because good politicians are on the right? (Or at least until David Emerson got there)
Good politicians??
Preston Manning

Preston Manning, what? A good pompous windbag. Saw him on The Agenda and he took up so much air time with his fatuous, non speak, I don't know what you call it. Trouble with politics is that people who go into it seem not to be able to say exactly what they mean using words we get. Same flabby diction. What did Manning do that was so great, besides being a reformer. (with his sites set against immigrants, gays, jobless, immigrants and criminals). His religious views made him intolerant of anyone without the God fearing backbone he felt belonged to "his kind". Rather than a list, why not discuss? I like Justin Trudeau. Or are you just going to call him down on his facial hair?

I'm not religious. I support gay rights and gay marriage. I believe immigration levels should be increased. By all accounts, I am a liberal. I not only liked Manning but volunteered for the party. I think you have bought too much into the propaganda spoon fed to you. Sure, there were nutters in the reform party but there were/are nutters in every party. Does the name Hedy Fry or Svend Robinson ring a bell?
