Sometimes, The Regina Mom wonders why she bothers to write her long blog posts, when others do it excellently with a short quote and video or are capable of piecing together a few headlines about the HarperCons’ visit to China, the trade trip on which the Enbridge CEO has accompanied the prime minister presumably to tout the pipeline projected to forever change the B.C. coastline, coastal communities and eco-system when the first tanker spill happens.
Meanwhile, back on the Canadian ranch, the HarperCon MPs spew slick rhetoric. Kady O’Malley’s citations from the Hansard regarding MP Larry Brown’s statements about Sharon Carstairs, Allan Rock and Hitler proves to be a very interesting, if frightening read. It makes TRM believe the PMO is using the Karl Rove’s playbook.
Open file has a bit of a who’s who on the Northern Gateway issue but forgot to mention one of Canada’s treasures, Franke James, who is still awaiting confirmation for a meeting with her MP, Joe Oliver. Remember him? He’s the oily MP who offered to meet with environmentalists, the one whose slippery words really got the ball rolling on this campaign.
