Peter MacKay visits Peter Penashue in the land of Nod

Peter MacKay is piece of work - of that there can be no doubt.

Peter MacKay the defected PC - the king maker - the opportunist.

So in he comes to Newfoundland and Labrador with federal bucks and a promise of a Cabinet Post for Peter Penashue.

Why he asks would anybody vote for any other than Peter Penashue (the election cheat)?

Don't the people of Labrador know that they really don't have a choice? Don't they know that an Opposition member is worthless and just "...maybe get to yell at the government two or three times a week in question period..."?

The election is all a folly thinks Peter MacKay - we don't live in a democracy and only god Harper has control. If you want anything in Labrador - you had better rescue Peter P from the land of Nod.

Attack ads on Mr. Trudeau - flyer's in mail boxes - attempted and somewhat successful control of the media. Harper and his man-in-waiting see no value to our electoral system - no value in our democracy?

How should we perceive this then? There is no need for Opposition members in Canada? There is no role for anybody but a member on the Government side? They demonstrably don't mind election act violations or attempting to buy people with their own money.

I think the people of Labrador will decide what they want and Peter MacKay just made it much more palatable to vote anything but Penashue.

With the Burton Winters tragedy still fresh in all our minds - continued failed promises to Labradorians - and now the attempt to force play a vote - I think Peter MacKay has just guaranteed a loss.

Vote Labrador Vote - for whoever in your minds deserves it.
