    Judging by his political bullying and one trick pony message, he'll also be good for the CPC.

    Not really. The last thing we need is another recalcitrant MP raising the level of white noise.

    MP's are elected by everyone in their riding, to represent everyone in their riding.

    I know how it works.. I am a card carrying liberal and attend my riding meetings.. what I meant was that it would be good for a native to run and be elected.. by the same process as everyone else... unless harper wants to put him in the senate :)

    Nope. Didn't see the prerequisite either. Basing it on what I've seen for the last couple of years. Lots of noise, not a lot of substance.
