Default MP Performance ratings...

I don't know how valid these rankings are but it should make for a good discussion.

A few interesting listings:
Top Cabinet Performers: 1) Jim Flaherty 2) David Emerson

Cabinet Underperformers 1) Michael Fortier (the Senator) 2) Maxime Bernier 3) Bev Oda (these last 2 are in the centre of the current copyright storm)

Top Performing MPs: 1) Garth Turner (!)

Under Performing MPs: 1) Paul Martin

How did Rona Ambrose miss the cut for worst performing cabinet MP?

How in the world Stephen Harper isn't consider underperforming is also a mystery to me. I'm not sure how he represents his riding by only doing interviews for Global when he comes back to it? (Gee, I wonder if the political donations by the Aspers have anything to do with that??)

She got 5th worst.

And as for Harper, I'm sure it is very difficult to balance your riding vs all the other demands of running a gov't.

Aspers are supporting the Conservatives? They've always shoveled buckets of money to the Liberals.

To be fair they probably gave money to both parties, like a lot of companies have in the past.
