- Dave Cournoyer began blogging in 2005 while studying Political Science at the University of Alberta in Edmonton. In 2006, he was elected Vice-President (External) his Students’ Union and served as Chair of the Council of Alberta University Students until 2007. Since then, he has worked as Communication Coordinator for Alberta’s official opposition party and for various advocacy and public policy groups. As well as writing on this blog, Dave also occasionally writes for publications such as SEE Magazine.
This just goes to show the political genius of Dion yet again.
ReplyDeleteHer argument that now that they have a seat in Parliament because they have an MP is flawed if she means to argue that that was the criteria used to award spots in the debate to the Reform and Bloc in 1993. The Reform and Bloc had won by-elections prior to the 1993 election, whereas the Greens still have not elected an MP, they just had someone switch parties.
ReplyDeleteNot that I'm saying the Greens shouldn't have a place in the debate, I just find the argument flawed.
A Sarah Palin style coup. Go Wilson!
