Default Buzz Hargrove agrees with Conservatives? Who'da thunk it?

And it's not global warming he's referring to. It's a Canada and Ontario without an auto industry he's worried about. If Al Gore and David Suzuki get their way, Buzz said, this very well could be the result. "The rhetoric is worrisome," he said. "We have got everything working against us right now."

Unrealistic environmental goals, unfair trade deals and out of control inflation don't add up to good times for automakers --not to mention related industries.

But the Tories, said Buzz, get that. And their plan is a proper response.
From a traditional NDP / Liberal supporter, this is quite interesting. Obviously he's looking out for the best results for his union, but siding with the Conservatives? Wow.

Then some comments on Gore and Suzuki:

Quote:
"I think John Baird is right on the money," said Hargrove. "Al Gore was vice-president for eight years and in the senate before that where they voted against (environmental reforms). So I don't know where he gets his credentials to come in here and lecture."

Quote:
As for Suzuki ambushing Baird, that was an ugly show.

It was even uglier and nastier than when he couldn't take the heat on John Oakley's radio show on AM 640 a couple of months back and stormed out of the studio when challenged.
