N.D.P. drops bitch

Yeah, some folks say I'm crazy, but I ain't. I'm colourful.
Ain't my core issue. My core issue is freedom of speech, which is vis-a-vis the government, not private parties. Local squabbles in the client states don't exactly grip me.
That'd fall under the heading of talking about him, which I don't do. See prior post.
Florida's part of it. The whole less-desirable part of Canada. What the locals call the Yew-nighted States of Murka.
It'll do for now. I make a lot of money here, and some folks are relying on that. After the internet develops a little more, and gets more widely accepted, I may move.
Let me speculate here for a moment based on some things I have heard and know there
is some validity to . A few years back the highway past her home was upgraded and they
messed up her driveway. A battle ensued between the government and her which for the
most part she won.
During the course of the dispute apparently, (allegedly she engaged in a discussion board)
Castanet. She spouted off about a number of the things and the two issues were highlighted
by the media.
One should not do this if they intend to run for politics or community higher profile. One should
not say things rashly when angry about something else. Lesson learned.

Funny, under US and Canadian law, Adrian Dix would be considered a gov't official.
Maybe you should brush up on the Constitution, lol.
Adrian Dix is a government official.
Absolutely the last thing we need for an M.L.A. is someone who goes off "half cocked" at the slightest provocation, I would also suspect that when the going gets tough, she looks out for # 1 first.
Absolutely, the N.D.P. gets saddled with enough "bad actors" without deliberately recruiting more, Dix did the exactly the right thing, she just makes the whole Party look bad. Also the Okanagan has a substantial Indian population, so they don't need that mouth piece.
I absolutely agree with free speech, but I also believe there's an onus to use it responsibly not to hurt innocent victims.
I hear you but not everyone has a thick hide like us! -
I think the rationale behind the dismissal was the Party honchos felt uncomfortable, not knowing for what she's likely to go spouting off at the slightest provocation. I'm sure that what she's on record for saying, is nothing that would attract the First Nations' vote.
People do spout off from time to time, but people should also be aware that when you do
there could be future consequences. That is if you are running for office. there was a
local poll showing a significant number of people agree with her, however at some point
the party, any of the parties have to take some kind of action if it flies in the face of what
that particular party stands for.
We see this from time to time, the Tories had Art Hanger who said some pretty silly things,
we had a few mouth pieces who sunk the Wild Rose Party as well. No party in an election
is going to find itself on record of something that could blow up in their face.
Take for example the burning of crosses as I speak statement by Ms Fry, a few years back.
She was an MP during a debate in the House, This is a case of a Party a mile ahead in the
polls and winning an election, no party wants to take a chance like that when you're winning.
AGAIN this problem is not the party, its the local constituency people who did not vet the
candidate prior to the nomination.

Who knew NDP were the only ones with a Code of Ethics that Reps sign on to and if they break are turfed. Is this new?
Everybody seems to be tripping over their own feet pointing fingers at the other guy to deflect their own party's hand in doing the same thing. It is rather a humourous circus to watch.
I think my opinion of the N.D.P. is similar to yours BUT we're in the campaigning mode 30 days prior to the election right now they are just another name striving to be the next gov't. to be determined by the electorate (and having an excellent chance of winning), so I think the propriety of what happened is not a party issue.
Leader of the opposition.
Is this why she was forced out?
Can you post an example of my party doing this please.
Probably nowhere near as humourous as the fact that you'll fail to meet my challenge.
A gov't official.
And what is your party? I thought you said you don't have a party affiliation. Or are you talking about a birthday party?
