Wajid Khan, the MP for Mississauga-Streetsville has crossed the floor from the Liberals to the Conservatives. Isn't it wonderful how little respect these floor-crossers have for the people who elected them? It is so dishonest to seek election under the banner of one party, and then cross the floor to sit as a member of another party, which campaigned on a different set of principles. Mr. Khan ran under the Liberal banner, and did not seem to have any qualms with the LPC's platform. Yet now he is prepared to endorse the platform of the most right-wing government in Canadian history? It just doesn't figure. How the Conservatives can accept him in, after the stink that they raised over Belinda Stronach's crossing to the Liberals is beyond me. And how the Liberals can have the nerve to protest, after they accepted Belinda Stronach in is beyond me too. Just goes to show that in those two parties (at least in the Parliamentary leadership) political expediency is more important than principle. If you feel this is wrong (be you an NDPer, a Liberal, a Greenie, a Conservative or what have you), I urge you to sign the petition that can be found here:
