This is unreal.# I cannot believe she would pull BS like this so close to a confidence vote.# What an absolute slap to the face of democracy.# Selfishly selling out her constituents for power and, presumably, money.# Just sickening.#
Where is that article from last week about Conservative MPs being offered cabinet positions by the Liberals?# I guess the proof is in the pudding.
What a disgusting individual.

Did you read the article?
She said her concerns were exactly FOR her constituents, the definition of democratic representation. If she voted against the government then all the budget lines for city funding would be cancelled. Coming from Toronto she didn't want to see that. Also, she was increasingly unsupportive of the party's policies. That's democratic representation as well.
I for one am very glad. Not to see the conservatives screwed but to see the actual really good work of Parliament over the past 6 months not go to waste. When was the last time parliament was so progressive and deliberative? It would have been a shame to see all that work flushed down the toilet. [/b][/quote]
I don't believe a word that comes out of her mouth. I don't understand how you could be so naive to believe she switched in the best interest of her constituents. This is the most selfish and transparent political move in quite some time.
And not only is she a Cabinet Minister but she is apparently also in charge of instituting the changes recommended by Gomery. What a joke.
