The entire
spectacle is tough to comprehend. Peter
was feckless, as an MP and as a Cabinet Minister. In the briefest of tenures, he has etched a
place among the ‘weakest of the weak’ sent to the hallowed halls of Parliament.
That the
National P.C. Party did not consider a Nomination Meeting in an effort to suss out
other, possibly more electable or more suitable candidates, is inexplicable.
It’s as if they didn’t really want Peter’s Labrador Seat all that badly.
The current Majority
Government forgets its near death experience when it was a ‘Minority’ player in
the House of Commons. A busy PM and
non-stop Cabinet Ministers, seemingly, don’t have time to weigh the importance or
the long term implications of one loss.
A Justin Trudeau may be a featherweight now, but, politics is a fickle
sport and such wins exact a price. Remember Danny’s ABC Campaign? Now, the
Province is completely shut out of the Federal Government.
