Twisting in the wind

It seems like the PM doesn’t give much of a _ _ _ _ (four letter word, rhymes with Grit) about his Agriculture Minister, Andy Mitchell. Known in the riding as a perennially “good guy” he’s still in tough against former Ontario Minister of Health Tony Clement, who you’ll also remember wanted Mr. Harper’s job no so long ago.

However, bygones being just that, Harper made a stop in Muskoka last week at Deerhurst Resort to rally the troops around Clement, and toss the supporters a well deserved bone. It’s a very close race and Harper’s appearance will be sure to make a difference.

Where is Paul Martin? I'd guess consoling a weeping Michael Ignatieff in Etobicoke/Lakeshore.

My guess is that Martin gave up caring about the status of a candidate in Cabinet since he knows that they’ll all be on the other side of the benches come Monday. Better to ensure 416 victory rather than a paltry 705’ers arse.

Quiz Time!

Q: What’s Muskoka’s biggest cash crop.

A: Granite

And people wonder why I chuckled when he was made Agriculture Minister.

PS - notice anything missing from Mitchell's website? Perhaps anything that says he's a Liberal!
