The trouble with preachers is that they feel compelled to preach, even when no one is listening. For the second time in two weeks, the Globe feels compelled to treat us once again to Manning's meanderings. It wouldn't be so bad if he was any kind of a decent person, but he isn't. He and his gang from Alberta upended Canada for nigh on 9 years bringing their vicious toadies, incompetent self dealing parliamentarians (none of whom stood by the so called 'reform' principles in the end), and encouraged and helped get elected a man with a known history of bigotry and white supremacist leanings. He did apologize for his 'mistakes' of course but apparently his apology was simply more empty rhetoric, the kind he does so well. Canada is not in the middle of some kind of voter revolt, it is not in the middle of any kind of 'battle' against dark forces (unless of course you count him and his current enabler), and we don't have any kind of voter disenfranchisement. Get lost Manning, please.
