Dave Emerson and the new cabinet

I was annoyed that the Conservatives welcomed Dave Emerson into the party and gave him a cabinet post. As you can tell by my first blog about Belinda Stronach; I don't agree with someone crossing the floor. Then I gave it some more thought. Politics is business. Business is about getting the best possible people for the job.

People should see that this type of behavior will always occur throughout our political history.

The fact is, "our" vision of democractic reform is alittle different than that of the Conservative party's. We are disappointed because "we" wanted people to sit as an independent or run in a by-election. This was not Stephen Harper's vision as he stated during his interview with the CBC during the election. He isn't being a hyprocrite and he managed to grab an excellent MP from another party.

It is part of business, as we all know companies steal employees from other companies all the time. Time to grow up people.

I was bought, took a much better offer from a competitor. It happens all the time. Everyone knows someone who moved to another job for a better offer.

The Conservatives got a PHD in economics in Dave Emerson. He is a darn good steal of an MP and well suited for the cabinet position he got.

Belinda Stronach had nothing going for her except a vote, a vote that only got her a few months as a cabinet minister in a dying party.

As far as business deals go, the Conservatives got the best deal by far.
