It also means that the NDP inches closer to holding the balance of power...

Yeah, David Emerson is propping up a Conservative government against a confidence motion.

Crossing the floor on an issue is nowhere near as bad as crossing immediately after an election on a power grab.~ If Tehben spits eggs at you, jump on them and throw them back. ~ Eventis ~ Eventis Dungeons & Dragons 6th Age Campaign: Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3, Chapter 4: (Unspeakable) Horror on the Hill ~Comment

He appointed a non-MP to a post? Can he do that? That's more than a little odd.

Indeed. It smells a little funny given all they've said about accountability and such, but there's nothing wrong with it, nor is it even that unusual historically.~ If Tehben spits eggs at you, jump on them and throw them back. ~ Eventis ~ Eventis Dungeons & Dragons 6th Age Campaign: Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3, Chapter 4: (Unspeakable) Horror on the Hill ~Comment

it's been done over here before, but you have to go back quite a long way to find someone appointed to the cabinet from outside the commons or lords."The Christian way has not been tried and found wanting, it has been found to be hard and left untried" - GK Chesterton.

Sure the issue was a cute little cabinet seat.Crossing the floor on an issue is nowhere near as bad as crossing immediately after an election on a power grab.
I'm surprised to hear you defending Belinda Stronach when you can simply tar both houses.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

That's right, Jacko. And in the near future, when the NDP is elected into power - every Canadian citizen will drive smart cars. We'll each have personal windmills powering our compost heaps - the collective benefits of such going towards building Natives free housing, and putting more one-legged lesbian Ugandans in the house as MPs.
This is the future of Canada. A single healthcare for all, regardless of how aggravated / sick you may become in waiting, while adhering to that ineffecient standard. Mandatory welfare for visible socialists, and free post secondary education for anyone above the age of 15. A PANDERING KALEIDOSCOPE OF ALL THE UNITED COLORS YOU SAW STANDING BEYOND OL' LAYTON ON ELECTION NIGHT; THIS IS TO BE OUR NATION!

Uncommon, but completely fair ball if done for a good reason, like putting a representative of a major region into cabinet (Montreal being the second largest metropolis in the country).Originally posted by dejon

Emerson is very capable? Harper wants someone with smarts and experience to help solve trade issues with the US?Originally posted by Ben Kenobi
Why the **** did he appoint Emerson?
Emerson is a Liberal. You didn't see Liberals appoint Conservatives to the Liberal minority cabinet.
If he's the best person for the job (international trade) I don't have a problem with it.
It also solves the problem of representation for Vancouver.(\__/)
