Taking a short break

Desperate House Members

Monday, May 12th, 2008

Just a few final (I hope) thoughts on the latest soap-on-the-hill. The NDP’s Paul Dewar has it right :

"I’m more concerned about (Bernier’s) ability to do the job because of his credentials as Foreign Affairs minister than I am in his pillow talk."

I have to admit that I’m less than impressed with Bernier, but do we really want to start investigating every Cabinet Minister’s significant others in titillating detail (past and present)? I really don’t think we want to go there.

However, we do need a competent Minister of Foreign Affairs, and I think Paul Dewar has every right to present any legitimate concerns in a respectful manner.

There is a very fine line between the public and personal lives of politicians. How we determine that boundary is exactly what defines us as Canadians.
