Imagine the media reaction if this was a gay politician being represented like this?
NDP Vegas MP’s riding office still empty 2 months after election
July 3, 2011 — BC Blue
No one can really be surprised that NDP MP Ruth Ellen Brosseau has yet to get a constituency office set up in her riding which she never once set foot in prior to winning May 2nd.
English translation from Google:
“Escorted by local media, Ruth Ellen Brosseau took possession of the premises vacated by the incumbent, Guy André at the beginning of June. But when we were in Louiseville, a few days ago, the place was still empty. No one worked and the phone line was not installed.” (see here)
Also: I’m looking for the video of Brosseau’s “that’s brutal” portion of the filibuster speech she made in the House. If anyone has a link, please pass it along.
Cristy Clark advisor blames Vancouver mayor for riot
July 3, 2011 — BC Blue
Gwyn Morgan has been held up by the BC media as an example of Liberal premier Christy Clark’s conservative bona-fides any time her hard-core Liberal pedigree was mentioned, so it’s very curious that only one small mention of a column he wrote June 28 about the Vancouver riot has been reported on so far.
In it, Morgan says Vancouver mayor Gregor Robertson was responsible for the riot and then subsequently for ruining businesses and Vancouver’s international reputation:
“It was decisions made by the mayor and civic officials that created an anarchist’s dream scenario of overwhelming numbers, booze and fan disappointment. Mayor Gregor Robertson’s vow not to follow the Mayor of Boston’s decision to forbid downtown jumbo-trons set the stage for an enormous party as tens of thousands flocked downtown to see the game. It was city officials who helped turn the massive gathering into a drunken party by keeping the bars open even after provincial officials had wisely decided to close liquor stores early. And despite expert advice that predicted a serious riot risk, who ordered the city’s badly undermanned police units told not to appear in hooligan-deterring protective riot gear?”
Now to see if the media will report on this massive crack appearing between Clark’s team and her new-found socialist buddy Robertson. (see here)
