A wanted man

Yesterday, we reported rumours some federal Liberals think David Emerson should run as a leadership candidate - providing a rallying point for British Columbia party members. But not everyone is happy Mr. Emerson, who was re-elected in Vancouver-Kingsway, made it back into Parliament. According to the rumourmill, some provincial Liberals were hoping for his defeat - not because they bear him any ill will but because they wanted the former deputy minister and forestry executive back on their team.

Emerson for leader! Emerson for leader!

Of the BC Liberals.

This crossover Federal/BC "Liberal" nonsense turns my stomach. I'm still relatively new to BC and still can't figure out if these parties are officially linked or not. If anyone can clarify please...
The Federal Liberals as Mr Duceppe rightly suggested run on the left and govern Largely right/centre...the BC Libs look like a cynical Branding project with hopefully a short shelf life

This man is way to qualified to be a Prime Minister - and rumour has it he was born in Alberta!

Seriously though - if we want a well run country he would be a great choice.

Shylo,
Isn't that what they said about Papa Paul Martin? And look what happened to him.
