Suicidal Cabinet

It is hard to get the reasoning between Harper’s Emerson/Fortier decisions. I can see why Emerson wants to take the opportunity but not why Harper wants to give it to him. If the reason behind selecting Emerson for cabinet is to help get Harper a majority in the next election, it just does not make sense. Emerson himself looks unrelectable in Vancouver/Kingsway; and Fortier certain looks unelectable in this or next election. If anything, the move only further enraged voters in metro Vancouver and Quebec. Harper also loses the “moral high ground” in the eyes of Albertans. It is such an all around loser that it is hard to comprehend. Add to it is the selection of Gordon O’Connor as Defense Minister. Makes one wonder if Harper wants to be Prime Minister at all. At this rate we will have another election in six months.
