Emerson Frustrated, Ex-Aide Says

Posted on Thursday, April 20 at 12:22 by 4Canada
Jay Epworth, Emerson's legislative assistant when he was industry minister in the Paul Martin government, said Emerson recently told him he has been shocked by the Harper government's fierce adversarial approach.

"Behind closed doors, the Conservatives are worse partisans than the Liberals ever were," Emerson said, according to notes Epworth wrote after his conversation with the minister.

"They hate the f---ing Liberals and they're doing everything they can to screw them," he quoted Emerson as saying.

    Looks good on him, I'm afraid!

    If only he'd get frustrated enough to quit and bring Harper lots of embarrassment.

    Should we all write him and suggest it?

    It appears that Harper's newest lapdog is getting ready to bite the hand that feeds him.

    What's the matter David, you starting to doubt the wisdom of making a deal with the devil?
