With the latest breaking news that Jack Layton met with the protesters and the NDP may have booked a room in parliament for them ahead of the protests, I want to know who has their fingerprints on this. Some signs might point to Layton, but I am more suspicious of Elizabeth May. Logistically, I will trust the RCMP and security to handle the situation on the ground, but politically I want to know who is running the show. Who is calling the shots? Who are the Field Marshals on the ground? We need to focus on asking questions and finding answers. Rosemary Barton may find these protests "interesting and effective", but they are pushing the limits of acceptable civil discourse. It is okay to have an opinion and promote it, but once it ventures into the realm of coordinated aggressive civil disobedience, I draw the line and it must be stopped.
The environmentalists are on their heels and in trouble. This is their Ardennes Offensive. If Elizabeth May and her Greens are knee deep in this shit creek, then we have to ask ourselves if it makes any sense to have her serving in the legislature. The good citizens of Saanich have to decide if they want to vote for a seat in cabinet, or if they want to vote for a vacationing Loony Toon.
If this proves to be true, then shame on Jack and the NDP. Cheap publicity with the ick factor. Fern StAlbert Cheers
