Oh.. no wait a minute, consumers are buying vehicles from non-unionized plants that never go on strike and otherwise disrupt the economy. Now I know why he's upset.

Howcum, us GPC members don't get letters askin' fer dough so's the party can run bigass TV commercials, even when there's no election happenin'? $75 to get a TV ad to 14,000 viewers sounds cheap. Maybe I oughta start advertisin' my boog on TV. JB Whooee!

I think he was also pushing the federal government to force the Asian market to accept North American cars, as apparently they don't even allow them in (nor does the EU). Ummm, Buzz maybe instead of trying to drag your feet on implementing tough emission standards you should be pushing for a proactive approach from the Big 3 automakers to actually make cars people want to buy (you know, reliable, fuel efficient and durable). There is a reason why Toyota is #1 in North America and why this blogger would never buy a North American made car.....

Within days of the next federal election (unless he wins a majority) he will be long knived, skewered and quartered and hopefully Martha, Gerard or someone from outside the old guard can seize the leadership. Maybe we will see four new federal leaders after the next election. SB
