warren kinsella is a disgruntled former liberal strategist that i hold in much, much higher regard than anybody currently in the pmo.

and, he's expressing a valid grievance, and a worthwhile observation.

but, this isn't about science and it isn't about trade, it's about what the pmo perceives popular opinion to be, and that's scary - because this isn't something that should be politicized.

the pmo is concerned that opening the border may be an electoral liability. that might not make any sense, but it's the truth of it - and it's hard to say, right now, if they're right or not.

i know that i'm not planning on voting in the next election at all, at this point - if the liberals are just going to act like conservatives anyways, why bother trying to block the conservatives?
