Political Post Time

Alright I realize that I posted yesterday that I was going to start a little series on religions today but I just couldent pass up some political news. If you live in canada and actually pay attention to your politics you will know that yesterday stephen harper and his government was sworn in. New people took over minister positions and everyone is settling into their new roles. I would like to mention that my local MP Chuck Straul is a minister this time around. The minister of agriculture. Anyways new people are forming this government. And heres the interesting part. David Emerson was elected in his riding as a liberal but he was being sworn in yesterday as part of the conservative government. Wait a second!!!! Did I miss something? I thought that when you were elected as a liberal or conservative or whatever you uh had to stay that way unless your public was informed first? Don't you have to ask your public? I thought that moves this sneaky were not allowed??? I must say that I am quite pissed off at this. I know he is not my MP but he still is a MP and he was democratically running as a liberal he won his race as a liberal but because he was offered a job on the winning team he can just ditch the loosing one that he was democratically elected to??? I will be writing angry letters asking for answers on this one. It takes into question our very democracy. Shame on David Emerson! We can't just blame stephen harper on this one either guys. He may have offered the job(I do not know the exact details) but it was emerson who took it without thought for his people he is suppose to be representing. Any thoughts?
