Interesting story on Scott Brison today, which brings back memories of the “kiss my ass” incident with a constituent last fall.

An e-mail message from his personal assistant Adele Desjardins, obtained by the Sun, scolds the outgoing public works minister for falling behind with his French lessons.

“I know you are the best to lead the Party and I am ready to work hard,” reads the terse exchange with Brison. “But I am not a machine, and co-operation is needed.”

The e-mail, sent out with the subject line, “You will never learn French the way you are doing it,” included an angry response from Brison: “How dare u speak to me like that?”

Do I care that he has a short temper? Nope. Do I care that he’s a former Tory? Nope. That his french is weak, that he advocated private health care, was pro-Iraq, wanted a flat tax, and was vicious towards the Liberals two and a half years ago? Well…maybe a bit.

But how can anyone out there support someone who uses “u” for “you”, in their e-mails? Are we going to see press releases during the campaign saying:

“SB wants u’re vote b-cuz he’s SO cool. LOL. BS is lame. 😉 TTYL!”
