Thought For The Day
Carolyn Parrish is where she belongs now, an isolated outcast doomed to spend the rest of her waning political career without a political party, and the support mechanisms that come with it. She clearly took it all for granted. God help the Tories or the NDP if they take her in - she's as tainted as a politician can be, and she can do nothing but hurt any politician who sides with her.
I wish I could say that this was the result of her over-the-top anti-Americanism. I wish I could say that her party saw her spoiled-brat attacks on the US president for what they were - counterproductive, ugly and unbecoming a democratically elected representative of the Canadian people.
But this is not the case. Carolyn Parrish' words and actions are in fact representative of a seething philosophical undercurrent within the Liberal party of Canada, a philosophy born of envy and resentment, and a willingness to see only evil intentions in those who are in fact our best friends.
George Bush is not well spoken, so he's an "idiot" and those who stand with him are a "Coalition of Idiots". Those who have not been willing or even able to defend themselves from foreign threats for fifty years, and who cry hysterically from the sidelines about the "illegality" of war are "wise". The world's most generous nation can be written off as "bastards" when they refuse to submit their public policy to foreign scrutiny that no other nation has ever had to endure. (Except maybe Israel, but that's another rant.)
These are commonly held beliefs within the Canadian left, and I daresay within the Liberal party of Canada. Carolyn Parrish gave them voice. Traditional Liberal values gave them life.
