Over at “Je me souviens moi” Land - Garth’s Reaction to the Quebec Election
March 27, 2007 · By Matthew
As is the tradition here at ThePolitic, I’ve visited The Garth’s website tonight to see what the wise bearded one from Campbellville (no relation to his former boss) had to say. About Dumont,
Mario Dumont is a social conservative, a throwback to the Union National and Social Credit days in Quebec. He embodies values of family, religion, roots and regions that had been forgotten by the increasingly urban mainline parties. Dumont was able to tap into that fatigue Quebec voters had with a never-ending debate between federalism and separatism, and talk instead about kids, the economy, health care and schools. He is the antithesis of the slick professional politician Charest, who has lived the life of a privileged minister, or leader, or premier, for the past twenty years.
In other words, he’s not exactly flatering to the new Official Opposition leader of the National Assembly. Of course, Garth can be prolific from time to time, quite by accident. I see a similar paragraph being written at the end of May if his election prediction of a spring election comes true:
The new Conservative Halton MP is a social conservative, a throwback to the Union National and Social Credit days in Quebec. He embodies values of family, religion, roots and regions that had been forgotten by Garth and the Liberal Party. The new MP was able to tap into that fatigue Halton voters had with a never-ending debate between Garth and the camera, and talk instead about kids, the economy, health care and schools. He is the antithesis of the slick professional politician Garth, who has lived the life of a privileged minister, or failed leadership candidate, or premier (in his dreams), for the past twenty years.
Be careful where you point you finger Garth…there’s four pointing right back at you!
