Tory Opportunism

Reform/Alliance/Conservative Edmonton East MP Peter Goldring's opportunism knows no bounds.

He has issued a press release denouncing the controversial Etobicoke-Lakeshore Liberal candidate Michael Ignatieff.

Hmmm, now why would he care about a Liberal, even such a high profile one, running in Hogtown?

Well their ridings share something in common, both have lots of Ukrainians in them. And low and behold the Liberal candidate in Edmonton East is Ukrainian.

I love this quote though;
"Mr. Ignatieff is descended from Russian royalty,” said Goldring

I thought Goldring and the rest of the anti-Bolshevik right whingnuts loved the Tzar and Russian Royality.

A tip o the blog to Daveberta for this. He also noted that NDP looks like it might take second place in some Edmonton ridings since the Liberals have been so slow off the mark to get anyone nominated. See I am not the only one who says Redmonton ain't a sure thing for the Conservatives or Liberals.
