Back to Dr. Kieth Martin.
I was listening to CBC Radio interviewing the local MPs on the way to a gig tonight.
Kieth Martin was one of them. The other two were local Conservative and NDP members.
All three were most contrite and apologetic. Speaking to their own constituents well out of earshot of their beloved leaders in Ottawa.
Basically all saying what I had written about last night.
They all have friends on both sides of the house and this is not sitting well with them at all.
They are "Happy" that parliament has been prorogued.
On floor crossing. Two members have come out of Liberal caucus and spilled the beans on what was being said. Members get kicked out of the party for doing this and one of them may find himself in that position. The other (Ralph Goodale) is of higher rank and will probably go unpunished. Or is it unrewarded?
