Obviously the nice fat salary, comfy cabinet position and perks may well have been available to the greediest contender. Harper needed that area, since there are no conservatives. Guess we will never know. For every protester in the Vancouver-Kingsway riding there are probably 5,000 Canadians who would be standing along side them physically if it wasn't such a large country. Emerson will never get my sympathy. His poor family - having to live with him and the fallout from all this - that's another matter.

Emerson will never get my sympathy. His poor family – having to live with him and the fallout from all this – that’s another matter.
