David Anderson's jihad against Prime Minister Paul Martin and his cronies, who he blames for being demoted from cabinet, has begun. Speaking with Times Colonist reporter Cindy Harnett, the Victoria MP told her, "I was known as an outspoken MP when I was a backbencher and I see no reason to be any different now." Which kind of explains why Mr. Anderson informed Vancouver Sun staffer Peter O'Neil that the prime minister can "kiss goodbye" federal Liberal seats in British Columbia if the government lifts its ban on West coast offshore oil and gas drilling. And that outspokeness isn't letting up. Today, Mr. Anderson is reportedly handing out interviews like a drunken sailor. Maybe now the Martinites wish they had given him a patronage position?
