"A Vancouver-Kingsway resient has hired a small aircraft and piolet out of Toronto to fly over Ottawa as Parliament opens April 4, towing a banner with a message for Emerson." while the plane won't fly directly above the Parliament buildings, it will fly close enough for all the MPs to see - this is all to "highlight the fact Emerson has not been available to constituents in his riding since he joined the Tories"
My hypothesis is that the banner is going to read "David Emerson Call Home", because the messages that the constituents really want to leave with him would not fit onto the 40-meter banner - after all, how many explict words can you fit onto a 40-foot space?
So... they've asked him questions, he hid in a corner - I'm sorry, but Emerson should, as the saying goes "grow a pair of balls" and face his fear - a couple hundred very angry constituents... I'm sure that it's nothing worse than having to go to the dentist for a root canal...
Furthermore, and yes, there is more for me to bitch about - this airplane stunt will be held only a day after an angry protest against Emerson, dubbed the "Walk for Democracy" - which he won't be attending, because you know - it's Emerson, I'm sure that it's not a case of him not wanting to face the mob of angry citizens armed with pitchforks, torches and "de-election" signs - but a case of he didn't know whether the mauve or periwinkle tie went better with his charcoal business suit, and black leather gucchi shoes.

And about 70 thousand other voters in the riding who think you guys should quit whining and get a job. Have you ever thought that, perhaps, he's too busy doing his job and has no interest in spending hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars for a byelection which will in all likelihood yield the same result? Relax, it's a minority government, you'll have your chance soon enough.
And considering you had no problem trolling my blog, I'm interested to see if you'll approve my previous comment or not. I bet I can guess the answer.
I think that trolling, whiny CPC trols are funny. Sad, twisted and demented. But funny.

Emerson did not do his "job," the mandate he accepted from the voters of Vancouver-Kingsway: not for one day did he serve his constituency.
He did not consult them over his change of heart. He did not ask your supposed 70,000 people if they would support his move. He did not lay out his reason for switching to the Tories and taking their votes with him.
You don't get it Matt. It doesn't matter if he gets voted out next election. He has no right to be representing Vancouver-Kingsway in Ottawa. He was sent there to be a stong Liberal voice.
And the weasely way he did his deed, and the way Harper accepted his move says a lot about both of them.
Walk for Democracy! April 2, Knight & 25th Ave 12:30
Don't worry, Emerson won't be there. He hasn't been there for his constituents since he flubbed his "victory" speech "... this is the first step on the long road back to a Conser er ahhh Liberal! majority!"
