Eve Adams just crossed the floor. She's holding a presser with Trudeau at NPC right now. Good riddance.

With the amount of fluff, nonsense and bullsh**t in her remarks today, it's clear she's going to make a great member of the Biebertrudeau Liberals.

Actual important news: Cabinet shuffle. Nicholson to Foreign Affairs, Kenney to Defence, Poilievre to Employment.

Eve Adams is so transparently ambitious that hearing this news makes my ears bleed. I don't like my Mississauga MP, Stella Ambler, but at least I know she believes in something. Shouldn't it be obvious to everyone that she's just crossing because she knows Mississauga will go red? Ugh. She doesn't deserve to sit next to the likes of an honourable man like Ted Hsu.

Yeah, just read up on it. You'd think I would follow what happens in my own country. Tongue

But I think that just speaks even more to her spineless twatness. So no love lost.

She's not running in Mississauga because the Libs have nominated all of their candidates there Tongue

I understand all that. I just meant that the willingness to go anywhere to win a seat isn't fantastic either. If my understanding of the situation is correct (and as I have shown, it's very possible it isn't Tongue), the Conservatives barred her from running. So she jumped ship to a new party and a riding that will be a considerable distance away from north Mississauga. Her options at home may have been limited, but obviously it's more about her own job and standing than serving her community.

I believe she actually lives in Oakville now (with her (ex?) fiance Dmitri Soudas), which is why she wanted to run there. Oakville-North Burlington has a Liberal candidate though, so she will likely run next door in Milton.

Althia Raj said that Trudeau told her Adams is not running in Milton.

She's not going to be left with much choice...

Speaking of seat musical chairs, what's happening to Leon Benoit? It appears he was the only incumbent left standing (in Alberta) after the music stopped. AFAIK he hasn't publicly indicating he isn't running again.

So what does Trudeau get out of this? Why would he want a damaged goods Tory?

Tidbits from Soudas, my guess. Grits say his only role will be lawn signs. They won't really use Soudas because he's obviously untrustworthy, per Tom Clark.

My opinion on shuffle: Excellent. On the soap opera: what Hash said.

Adams lied to Harper's face, he called her on it and ended the meeting.

Back to the future: Grit MPs criticizing their leader in the media again. Not as juicy as Taber on Dion/Iggy, but it'll do.

How the flag filibuster was defeated, apparently. Of course this Dipper is the sole survivor, so no corroboration.

Great article by David Akin: http://www.macleans.ca/news/canada/david-akin-in-defence-of-sun-news/

Sad to see him without a job. Really surprised to see that Jack Layton approached him to be a candidate!

Ujjal Dosanjh calls for a national licensing scheme for organized religion. 

That man can be oddly nuts at times.

No article in English yet, but it seems we are having our Benghasi now.

Diplomats endangered because John Baird and Conservatives used the money budgeted for upgrading embassies' security to lower the deficit.

The money should've come from domestic things, as always.

I am also very troubled by the fact the Engligh media is not reporting this. Are they afraid of critizing Conservatives?

In a similar light, Francois Legault wants mosques to be investigated before they are allowed to open Roll Eyes

Well, good to know my support of PLQ last time wasn't misplaced.

The parties aren't far apart on ID issues... or until recently, that much in practice generally.
