The 3 Big Pigs Find a Groupie

The 3 Big Pigs apparently think it isn't enough to steal power for themselves. It looks like they believe a woman who didn't even win her own seat in the October election should get some power, too.

Oh. You thought this was about what's good for the public? Silly you.

From CTV:

Green Party Leader Elizabeth May confirmed Tuesday that she has had discussions with Liberal Leader Stephane Dion about playing a role in a potential coalition government, which her party supports.

At a press conference in Ottawa, she suggested she would be open to the possibility of becoming a senator or cabinet minister, but the discussions with Dion were not specific.


That's nice, isn't it? A leftist sees all of the other leftists preparing to divide Canada amongst themselves, so she drops in for a slice. A cabinet minister, a senator, whatever: just make it a decent job paid for by the Canadian taxpayers. The CTV post goes on to note that May says a senate seat will help her party shape the direction of Canada. Maybe it will, Lizzie, but that's why you're supposed to win your election first.

May gets this coup better than most Canadians and any of the media: it's power-grab time. If she can get a government job by skipping pesky things like voters, all the better for her.

Stephane Dion (the guy who was stepping down as Liberal leader until he and the other 3 Big Pigs decided he should become Prime Minister) has confirmed that he held talks with Elizabeth May. When these political con artists stick together, they really stick together.

For the record, the Green Party did not win a single seat in the last election. May, as their leader, is a complete failure. I'd feel sorry for her, except she's now turned into a shameless groupie, begging for a job from these people only because they didn't fail quite as spectacularly as she did.

But hey, it's all about non-partisanship (unless you're trying to tear down the Conservative Party). So why not give the guys from the Radical Marijuana Party a shot? They won a few votes in the past election, and they really put the word 'party' into politics. While we're at it, give a job to a couple of guys from the Marxist-Leninist Party. They won 8753 votes. That has to be worth something to the 3 Non-Partisan Pigs. And why not a person from the Christian Heritage Par...oops. That would be taking it just a tad too far, wouldn't it?

Canada. Wake up.
