Didn't like how she did her job, but she did do it well for a long time. Then Steve brought in his friend the Lizard of Oz. One can not be too hard on Byrne, it wasn't as if she had much to work with. Steve and his Cons were the client.<br /><br />As for not turning over information to others, don't blame her. If I were tossed out like that, I certainly wouldn't be gracious. that's not what gets you those types of job. For some jobs in life, people aren't hired because they are nice. then people get all disappointed when they aren't. Now it maybe said that others in her position are/were a lot nicer. That may be true, but they didn't have Steve as a client. I say let it go and wish her a happy life.e.a.f.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-31115970751068446962015-10-22T09:11:05.732-04:002015-10-22T09:11:05.732-04:00hi David...it really is pathetic, you might think ...hi David...it really is pathetic, you might think that after ten years he might step down with class.

If that's not possible then we should know whether Kenney will surrender his leadership ambitions and get to run the party for a year before he is bounced. However, since so many of the old Reformers didn't run in this election Kenney's base has been weakened, so it's hard to know what will happen...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-44641090309199648002015-10-22T09:01:49.493-04:002015-10-22T09:01:49.493-04:00hi e.a.f....this will be only the second leadershi...hi e.a.f....this will be only the second leadership race the Cons have ever had, so it will be interesting how they handle it. My hope is that defeat and the ideological schisms that have always existed will make for a very bumpy year.

So I suggest that we use social media to discredit as many Con candidates as we can. They will already be fighting each other, so anything we do can only destabilize them further. And of course if we could help cause a massive split, it will be a long time before the Cons threaten us again. And if we can change the voting system the Cons will be done like dinner...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-25837432338940534492015-10-22T08:51:49.338-04:002015-10-22T08:51:49.338-04:00hi JustCallMeRick....I think it would be a big mis...hi JustCallMeRick....I think it would be a big mistake to just sit back and let the Cons regroup.

MacKay also seems interested, but since he sold the party out once I doubt he'll go far. And as for Charest, he is tainted by a number of scandals, even though he does have the advantage of still being slightly popular in Quebec. My guess is that they will go for a woman, like Leitch or Raitt. However Harper does seem to want to boost Poilievre, so goodness knows anything could happen...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-34880849971653351852015-10-22T08:39:14.906-04:002015-10-22T08:39:14.906-04:00hi Irene...that's good to know.
