The Liberals, NDP, and Green parties really need to bust their humps and win this riding away from Aglukkaq. The district's voting numbers are so small, that there's always going to be wild swings in the results. The only parties, though, that ever seem to go for this riding are the Liberals and Conservatives.
Had the NDP not shit the bed in the previous election, they probably could have split the vote enough that this riding could have been up for grabs by any of the campaigners.
But that's merely the riding. In the end, it's only partially important. The truly important bit is that Harper placed Aglukkaq into the Environment ministry as an affront to environmentalists. He absolutely knew this was an ill-fitting appointment.
Aglukkaq has just demonstrated how many shits she could give about the environment. Therefore, it's incumbent upon the opposition to defeat her, and Harper in this next election. Anything less than victory over the Conservatives should be construed as weakness in the opposition parties.
Harper will be as vulnerable as he's ever been. If he can't be defeated, now, then it's something wrong in the Liberals, NDP, and Green parties' campaigns, rather than anything Harper's done.
They should have their dogs out right now, in fact, hounding the Conservatives. There's blood on the trail, and the hound dogs should be wailing. The should be relentless in their pursuit, now, and forcing Harper into retreat at every step, running down his energy until he collapses from fatigue.
Canada's federal environment minister’s decision not to represent the country at The Climate Summit of the Americas this week in Toronto raised the question: how did she spend her time instead?Self-serving. Completely indifferent. Are these traits valued in Harpers' Conservative Party, or does it attract these sorts of assholes, naturally?

(H)er Facebook page shows, just as the 300 international dignitaries were arriving Tuesday at the summit to map out urgent solutions for a global low-carbon economy, Minister Aglukkaq went boating, among other pleasurable activities, 2,500 km away.
