Are you listening to yourself?
I don't like the move. It should have gone to someone in the Conservatives. I don't like how freely the MPs can shift parties.
BUT....
I like the rational behind the choice. Harper is trying to get the best person for the job, AND trying to get representation from all parts of the country. That earns him points in my books, even if I'd MUCH rather he do it by having the right people elected.

Harper would have a lot fewer problems right now if he'd appointed an unelected person from Vancouver . . . . . . people would be miffed and his opponents would have some ammo, but it wouldn't be the same affront and fraud.
And yeah, I do think Emerson was appointed to cabinet because he was the only person in Vancouver they could bribe and yeah, I think that had nothing to do with his qualifications.
Why wouldn't I think that? This is as crooked as a three dollar bill.
