He calls himself a red tory because he's gay and has liberal social values. Other than that, he's a true blue conservative. Since he is liberal on social issues he can at least make a claim to "fit" with them better. Its still just opportunism, and a blatent jump for power, but not as bad as Stronach.

He ran for the leadership of the CPC. He lost. He jumped ship and got a cabinet posting with the Liberals. He was elected on the conservative platform.

Harper. Then I would feel like my vote actually matters.

also, any other Conservative in Calgary. It would be nice to have 1 riding that wasn't decided 10 years in advance.

PMPM. I'd like to see him actually cry.

He's the most disingenuous rat on the good ship Liberal, and he deserves to go down with the ship. I was embarrassed to be represented by Cretin on the international stage for 10 years, and I thought it would be better when PM took over. Little did I know that Mr. Dithers would actually make Canada look even weaker.

There are other liars, cheaters, criminals, opportunists, and shrill bats in parliament who should be booted, but nothing could beat the PM going down.

No, he ran for the leadership of the PC Party prior to its merger with the Alliance. He didn't join the Liberals until after the merger, because he felt the new party was too far right-wing for him. He wasn't made a cabinet minister until after the 2004 election when he ran as a Liberal candidate.

post election now, but this is who I wanted to see booted:
M. Thompson
S. Day
S. Harper
R. Anders
P. McKay
R. Al****
S. Fletcher

As for whoever is saying Brison, C'mon man....you should learn a little about the man and his stances before you make outlandish comments. Brison was completely following his beliefs to the Liberals, and his supporters have followed. Peter McKay is the Power hungry D-Bag that should be outsed after uniting two parties in hope of being PM. He should never be allowed in the HoC again.
