It is true the Progressive Conservatives had more in common with the Liberals than present day Tories, but he was not a Liberal appointment. <br /><br />I don't think he should engage in advocacy, at the same time he has the right to uphold the law, not try and undermine it. I disagree with the Gag Law, but thats up to parliament and the courts to decide, not the Chief Electoral OfficerMonkey Loves to Fighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05122291567543761919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859678.post-82873456852387738782007-01-12T23:39:00.000-05:002007-01-12T23:39:00.000-05:00Kingsley compromised himself and the office of Chi...Kingsley compromised himself and the office of Chief Electoral Officer when it was discovered that a member of his immediate family acquired employment in disgraced former liberal leader Paul Martin's office. <br /><br />This very public act was a slap in the face to all Canadians who believe that the individual responsible for overseeing elections in Canada must be impartial and seen to be impartial<br />to maintain the integrity of our democratic system. <br /><br />Unfortunately, in the dying days of the Cretin/Martin regime nepotism and the rewarding of party apparchniks was the rule of the day. <br /><br />Now that Mr. Kingsley did the right thing and resigned, it will be interesting to see if Bernard Shapiro takes the hint and does the honourable thing and resigns also.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
