Judge not lest ye be judged, Dork!

For a party leader looking to make further inroads into British Columbia, Stephen Harper certainly doesn't sound like it:

"(Former Vancouver Mayor Larry) Campbell said the idea of a crystal meth crisis in our communities is garbage...I think (voters) are going to have to ask themselves, and I think they are asking themselves in this community what was Larry Campbell's record on that and what happened in Vancouver during that period. I think the voters of Vancouver cast their judgment on that with Mr. Campbell's party in the recent elections."

Wow, what a nasty little smear by Stephie Wonder. First of all, the only "community" DaVinci mentioned when he was talking about crystal meth was the one he had an electoral mandate to talk about: Vancouver. The former Mayor was downplaying the crystal meth "crisis" because the Intravenous King Kong still riding this town's back is good ol' heroin.

Not only does this amount to a backhanded smear, it's also the worst
Nelson Muntz impression ever. Exactly what "judgment" is Harper gloating over? DaVinci wasn't even on the ballot, but Jim Green was, right next to the yet to explained name of James Green. Furthermore, "Mr. Campbell's party", Vision Vancouver, elected FOUR OUT OF FIVE City Council candidates.

If that's "judgment" for the left-of-centre in Vancouver, then this page solemnly prays that the End Times are indeed upon us. No wonder the Conservatives can't elect anyone in Vancouver.
