Glen Pearson reflects

Liberal MP Glen Pearson writes a very thoughtful blog and today's entry is especially worth reading.  Voters in London North Centre, Ontario, are lucky to have him.

 Pearson  talks about what a tough week it's been for his leader: 

 "Mr. Ignatieff took something of a drubbing in the media this week and it shows."

He talks about what a tough week it's been in Parliament.

"As Stephen Harper and Michael Ignatieff held their first meeting this week, MPs in Question Period appeared to have lost their collective mind, spending the first 20 minutes in over-the-top catcalling that prompted me to leave the House for a few minutes to deal with my anger."

And best of all, Pearson refrains from the mindless partisanship that plagues Ottawa these days.

 

"In the end, Stephen Harper showed the kind of cooperative nature the entire country has been calling for, and he should get credit for that."
