All very nice, provided you're not represented by some braindead Reform leftover, Conservative MP, as we have here in the Cariboo, in the person of one Dick Harris. All the inputs these pathetic excuses will receive will end up in Harper's office, as they have been in Manning's.

I wish it were just an insult. I've dealt with the man personally and if there ever was a politician who could be best described as a political drone it's him.
