Since all the cool bloggers are doing it, I’ll post a link to Garth Turner’s blog, where he trashes his party and leader over the Emerson and Fortier fiasco.
I applaud Turner for his principled stand, and think he has every right to speak out about these hypocritical appointments. But, that said, his blogging is certainly not doing the Conservative Party any favours. And it’s certainly not appropriate to discuss a private dressing down he got from the Prime Minister. There’s something to be said for being a “team player” (within reason) and if I were a Tory, I think I’d be a little peeved towards Garth right now.
But I’m not a Tory, so: Blog On Garth! Blog On!
