Well put -- she hasn't been doing Team Blue a lot of image favours during her time in office - although she does keep getting elected.Jarnhamar said:Cheryl Gallant's comments are little party grenades.

Loachman said:They spent a few years in at least one camp, and are very happy to be here, and are very appreciative. Their English has improved a lot (from nothing), but is not yet to the point of being able to easily discuss complex matters.
The father and two oldest boys are all working, plus taking English lessons and doing their best to improve their educations. They just bought a car as well.
Being privately-sponsored by a very, very supportive group certainly helped, but they are also determined to make their own way.
Great neighbours, and a very good family.

Not in that part of the world, no - hence my wondering.George Wallace said:Have you seen the competition?
That would do it - document handling skills notwithstanding ...recceguy said:Likely because she actually listens and fights for her constituents ...

Jarnhamar said:I honestly considered voting other than conservative because of her. She is very active and fights for her members but some of the stuff she says is pretty out there. The local Liberal candidate seemed like a really good dude with good views. I think a big reason she keeps getting elected is because military members are predisposed to vote conservative. She lucked in with her riding thats for sure ;D
Between the crooks at the NFA getting gun owners personal information and me being harassed constantly through emails and phone calls for money, despite repeated attempts to stop them, I won't be supporting the conservatives financially for a long time.
That can happen, too -- looooooooooooong timer, then change, then another looooooooong timer.George Wallace said:Pembroke had a very good Liberal MP, Len Hopkins, the longest serving member in his day. Unfortunately, then along came Hec and after one term in Parliament, it was the end of a long Liberal Red Riding.
recceguy said:Likely because she actually listens and fights for her constituents. As opposed to the animatronic voting robots on the other side of the aisle. You know the ones. Pull the string and get the same Gerald Butts non answer from any one of them. Team Trudeau has not provided a single, on topic answer to any question put to them since they took power.

However I will grant the fact and respect that Gallant speaks her mind (I just can't respect what she spouts sometimes). A good example of her standing up for what she believes in is her being the only sitting MP (and only CPC member) to not vote in support of the Paris accord which otherwise was supported by all parties and members except her.
recceguy said:Do you suppose that your example, from the Red Star, is equal to the liebrals? Since it came to power this time, the liebral caucus, including the PM have been nothing but puppets mouthing those nonsensical platitudes penned by Gerald Butts. They have made a mockery of debate and sincerity. The modus operandi of answering questions has been to launch on an unrelated tirade of how Harper ruined everything, how Harper left them a deficit, when it was a surplus. They pass the answer sheet around and everyone gets a chance to read it verbatim. You simply cannot compare your example to the outright contempt for the Canadian people that the clown prince and his gaggle of trained seals has shown since being elected.

Colin P said:The Key for Scheer and the CPC is to give his MP latitude to address topics and guidance on how to address key issues like abortion, gay marriage and make clear to everyone all the time what the view of the party is on those “hot issues”. So he can be seen as allowing dissent and varying opinions without the party turning into a herd of cats. He can then paint the Libs as Harper 2.0
