Ed T, it looks like some kind of advert site to me: slap a single article down and pretend you're a palnetary movement... indeed.

Terry, if the backroom boys are thinking that way, it will only end in tears for 'em. As Sandy notes, very few people trust MacKay, particularly in the Maritimes, where he grandstanded his true colours by conniving and backstabbing and selling out to Harper in a big way - look up the Orchard affair.

Sandy, I was neither a fan nor a hater of Belinda , but Mackay's behaviour over that affair made him look foolish, vengeful, and ignorant as well.

I really would love to see the man lose his seat, especially if it was to Louise Lorefice. He's the kind of man who would find that humiliating indeed.

And whaddaya know, the Orchard affair made Wikipedia, only it's all placed in the more flattering light of polite party making history.
