Sorry seems to be the hardest word.

Over 20 years ago, this page was on a baseball team that narrowly lost at the city finals. However, our league had a rule that allowed the winning team to select 3 players from the losing team to play in the provincial championship: guess who had good enough bat and the wheels to be one of those three?*

However, to the best of my knowledge, no such rule exists in federal politics, and once again, this page turns its guns at the "honourable" David Emerscum. I'm not impressed by yesterday's "apology" to the voters of Vancouver-Kingsway. There is no apology: Super Dave is just upset by the reaction of his constituents, he's frustrated by the ignorance of the 'little people', and he honestly feels he can defy their democratically expressed wishes because he thinks he's better than them. Nowhere does he say he regrets switching to a party that finished a distant 3rd in the riding with only 19% of the popular vote.

This page is no longer convinced that the biggest pr*ck in the Conservative caucus comes out of the old Reform Party, he comes from the Liberals. Emerscum arrogantly refused to acknowledge the protests at his constituency office, and claimed no one had said "resign" to his face. The people who came to his office and tried to make an appointment to do just that were threatened with arrest.

Emerscum is sorry - the sorriest excuse for a Member of Parliament BC has seen in a long time.
