It's about CHARACTER, stupid!
One last post for the night... I couldn't resist.
A CBC story on whether or not gender is playing a role in the fallout over Belindagate had me wanting to, yet again, hurl a rock through my television screen. Susan Ormiston finished off her piece by asking if the angry fallout is just another example of unruly women "being put in their place." (ie: women shouldn't be in politics in the first place, so if they step out of line just once -- a la defecting -- their punishment should be banishment to the proverbial kitchen)
My own two cents to Susan and the CBC: people are pissed off because Belinda sold her party down the river 2 days before they needed her loyalty and support more than ever before - and for a Cabinet post, no less. Where's the honour there?
I'm a woman, and let me tell you, this debacle has NOTHING to do with gender and everything to do with character. I've been just as hard on Belinda over the past day as I was two years ago with Scott Brison.
And finally, as for Peter MacKay -- I hope to see him come out swinging tomorrow! Ottawa's most eligible bachelor is unlikely to be single for long!
