I understand your frustration and concur, Garry. However fine a woman this might be, she was chosen to represent this country because of her race, gender, province and heritage. Two successive choices of this ilk indicate to me that this whole concept of "PC" is far too engrained in our morally bankrupt government.
A number of names were bandied about, including Preston Manning and even Marc Garneau. Manning would have been my choice, but I would have accepted Garneau without a second thought.
PMPM has gone over to The Dark Side (and I'm NOT referring to the lady's heritage). It makes a mockery of the position of GG.
IMHO.
