Walk For Democracy

033106_kingswaymap.jpgParliament begins on Monday and David Emerson will have succesfully ducked all criticism and all accountability to his constituents. I was talking to Libby Davies yesterday and she said the first order of business monday morning was to attend a protest in which a plane rented by Manuel Pereda will fly over carrying the message, "Emerson Call Home". For the rest of us not able to be there, there will be a march past his office to Norquay Park on Sunday, April 2nd. Gather at 12:30pm at Kingcrest Park at Knight and 26th. Walk starts at 1pm along Kingsway, past David Emerson's office on to the rally at 2pm at Norquay Park, just east of Slocan on Kingsway. Go to Walk For Democracy for more info. For background on the issue see The campaign to De-Elect Emerson.

Right, I forgot... people come here for the perfect grammar, not the content.

I assume this blog wants to be taken seriously ... soooo you could start with spell checking - it's a sign of respect for your audience. You do respect your readers dont' you? (Probably not me, but the other 3 anyway...)

ok schoolmarm i am sooo curious, do you live on a trust fund? do you really have so much time on your hands that you have decided to take on the cause of correct spelling on the internet?? also you spelled 'goddam' incorrectly, it actually has an 'n' and the end. Just thought i'd help you out with your cause...

I dare you to come by Cuppa Joe this weekend and say this shit to my face. If I ever find out who this is I'm gonna throw hot coffee in your face.

Hey, I'm the best guy for the job. Have you seen the other losers in the Conservative cabinet? They can't hold a candle to my experience, ie. CEO of a bank, executive with Canfor ... I could go on but I won't. Let me just say, the Canadian people are damn lucky to be getting my services so cheaply. And I didn't get into politics to sit on the back benches or rot it the riding office listening to old ladies complain about their pensions ... I'm born for action and you losers won't stop me. Fuck the political parties, they're all the same anyway.... just out to get and hold power.

Can't this guy respond to criticism without using hate-speech and profanity? I don't come on here to read things like this.

Maybe you should take a look at the mirror before accusing others of being an internet fascist.

Who are you? What is your job? Why do you care so much? And why be rude?

Posted by: sarah at April 3, 2006 9:31 PM | Quote Comment

Wow, I hope that's merely someone pretending to be Sean, because I'd like to think that he was smarter and more together than that.

I wonder how beyondrobson's advertisers feel about hate speech.

Shame. For an author you really have a small, narrow-minded vocabulary. Grow up.

FYI, the IP address for that crazy angry remark by "Sean Orr" is different from the other comments he's posted and the email address is different too so let's just ignore the impostor. Cool?

Posted by: Ariadna at April 3, 2006 11:04 PM | Quote Comment

Yeah, that was NOT me. However, it must be someone I know, because I don't think I've ever posted here that I work at Cuppa Joe. I think I know who it is. If it is who I think it is, I feel sorry for you.

Once again, "I dare you to come by Cuppa Joe this weekend and say this shit to my face. If I ever find out who this is I'm gonna throw hot coffee in your face." THIS WAS NOT LEFT BY ME. Thanks.

Um, hello, can we get back to the subject of this blog? Namely me, David Emerson. Thank you, thank you, you're too kind. I look forward to serving my country until the next snap election in late 2007. To all the protesters in my riding: quit while you're behind. In a year you'll be a vague memory, stored on videotape in the CBC archives and I'll be jetting the world being a minister of the crown with an expense account and staff you can only dream of. Ah, life is good. Eat cake, peons.

Nope, that was Sean.

Can you email me the spam you got? I disapprove and would like to stop it.

Posted by: Ariadna at April 4, 2006 12:13 AM | Quote Comment

I don't deserve this.

Don't believe what those other Sean's are saying. I'm the real Sean Orr. And even though I am a creationist and believe the Jews burried fakes dinosaur bones in the 20s to trick us all, I really hope you'll vote for me in the next election.

Hey, Dave, why is it that you have NO friends?

"Hey, Dave, why is it that you have NO friends?"

HEY SEAN, YOU'RE BLACK.

BWAH HAH!!

Dude, you need help. I feel sorry for you. You have burnt all your bridges. You obviously have some deep emotional problems that need sorting out. Its kind of sad that you keep posting these petty comments, trying to get me riled up, but I think its just sad. You should email me personally if you want to talk about it, but don't embarass yourself online.

Remember that time I just ignored all my constituents except when I'd occassionally refer to them as "locusts" or something? that was sweet. I think that I've personally evolved democracy to new heights. Also I have big plans for capitulating to the US. Watch me go!! did I hear somebody say "a single north-american state"? I think so, y'all better get on the band wagon, start investing in oil or whatever, I'm king shit. Bring on the gateway project. We didn't worry about the environment when I was studying econ at edmonton, when I was deputy finance minister directly before and after I was president and CEO of Western Bank (the only regional bank to emerge as successful at the time), nor did I consider the environment when I was working for BC ferries or when I was President and CEO of Canfor. I don't even know how to tell a spruce tree from a hemlock. Why the hell would I start worrying about the environment now that I'm minister for the Gateway and international trade? the environment is entirely hypothetical. I'm talking theoretical, you dig? Write me a letter some time. I'll have my secretary throw it away for you...
