I very much appreciate being lectured on ethics by the former Attorney General in Glen Clark's BC NDP administration. One of the most incompetent, corruptible, and awful Premiers in the history of Canada decided it would be a good idea to have Ujjal as his top legal watch dog. With character references like that, it is easy to see how he rose to prominence in the Liberal Party. That's like applying for a job as a teacher and citing Mary Kay Laterneau as your reference. Today we see Ujjal lecturing us on legal ethics, and sure enough as soon as he starts ringing his bell, all the Pavlov's Dogs over at the Liblogs (aka Pavlov's Libdogs) start salivating. I stand by Peter MacKay and our Armed Forces. I trust them to have done the right thing.
Sometimes the Liberal Party makes me laugh. They treat Ujjal so seriously without seeming to realize just how terrible he was in the BC NDP Caucus. When he stepped in for Glen Clark who had to resign amid criminal investigations, the NDP was decimated in the next general election. He helped destroy that party for over a decade, and now he is treated by Liberals as a star MP? How does that make any sense? He only won his seat by a few votes last year, and judging by the expiry date, he is starting to stink. This is the reality in which the Liberal Party of Canada exists. Take two of the worst failed NDP Premiers in history, then put them in your caucus and parade them around as superstars. Jesus Christ, what a f*#king nightmare! As Stealer's Wheel once sang "I've been trying to make some sense of it all, but I can see it makes no sense at all..."
At least one Pavlovian Libdog has nominated Ujjal to be Minister of Defense.
Yeah, both Rae and Dosanjh wouldn't make my hockey team. But Dosanjh is still popular in the East Indian community here,so they'll keep him around to win one seat.
ReplyDeleteDosanjh did NOT distinguish himself in his handling of the Gustaffsoon Lake seige, where a bunch of Native activists tried to claim a portion of a ranch as traditional territory. He was as scared of making a real decision as Ontario's McGuinty at Caledonia. It's only by sheer luck that two RCMP officers aren't dead because of his indecision.
Fortunately,they survived, but had the worst happened, Dosanjh would be as popular in BC as Rae is in Ontario.
Under Dosanjh, the NDP gov't went down to an embarrassing defeat! (2 to 77 seats.) Dosanjh was Attorney General under Clark and thus in my book, it was a major conflict of interest for Ujjal to run for leader and become premier.
ReplyDeleteClark was anachronistic, but I wouldn't call him awful. He "tried to get things done", as the Socreds used to say, but it today's legal and political environment he was bound to fall.
ReplyDeleteThe Tories do deserve blame for the innovation of attack ads before the election is even called. It doesn't matter if the Liberals prepared the ads in the reasonable expectation that the Tory ads would come out.
The problem is saying on the one hand that they want to make Parliament work, while on the other hand springing the attack ads.
There wont be a coalition government after the next election. The only reason a Liberal-NDP coalition was bruited in 2008 was in the very special circumstance of the need to convince the Governor General that they could command a stable government in the House without having to call another election.
