Subject: Is this MacKay's high road? Author: Greg Moors [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 10:17:02 03/14/03 Fri Author Host/IP: www.rcdso.net/209.226.11.194 What an interesting twenty four hours it has been. Watching MacKay state on Dan Newman’s Politic’s yesterday that Orchard doesn’t speak for the PC party was quite confusing to me. How could a man running a close second to MacKay in delegates not be speaking for a large number of the members of this party? If that wasn’t annoying enough a later segment of the show had a Jesse Cauhan representing the party on a multiparty panel. Instead of saying how exciting it was to have such a broad representation of leadership choices and how this shows the party is a big tent ready to offer Canadians an alternative government, she chose to bolster her man MacKay by disparaging Mr. Orchard as a special interest candidate. Not that saving Canada’s sovereignty isn’t special. And to round out the trilogy was the Globe article this morning on Senator Di Nino working the phones on the litany of automatic delegates with fear mongering statements about the party lead by Orchard and rallying them to support MacKay. No doubt this is exactly the scenario that the party elite had envisioned when they opted out of a one-member-one-vote contest in favour of one that was more easily manipulated. Wouldn’t want the will of the party to do something that wasn’t in their best interest. They know what’s best for this party. Witness the stellar results under their leadership at the last three general elections. This party deserves what it gets if it ignores the groundswell and opts for the status quo. My only disappointment is that Canada deserves better. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
