It is April 15th 1912 all over again.

Obviously Pierre you didn't read the comments to the article. JT has taken on a loser.

Spin the story as much as you want.  The simple reality is that Conservatives are jumping ship.

It is not where they go that is important... it is what they leave behind.

Some have resigned and are moving to other things while many others indicated their intention NOT to run in October representing the Conservative Party under Harper.

But that is OK.  Keep sending $10 monthly and get a tax receipt!

Yes many are leaving now before the new pension law comes into effect. A pension at 55 trumps 10 more years of waiting.

She is a typical politician.

Imo a by election should be called when an MPP changes parties or have to sit as an independent if they leave their party if an election is due to be called within less than a year.

I am not saying this because she left the conservatives.

Some of her reasoning for leaving them is sound.

[ilurkthereforiam]

I heard that the conservatives refused to endorse her for the next election because her and her boyfriend were involved with dirty dealings.

Well Lurk no one else but JT would take her on, not even the NDP. She had no oher place to go so bowed before Justin. Not a bad looking chic, maybe that got to Justin?

Grave concerns' on conduct

During a tough nomination campaign in 2014 for the newly formed riding of Oakville-North Burlington, riding association president Mark Fedak wrote a letter complaining that Adams had disrupted a riding association board meeting, by verbally abusing board members and then refusing to leave.

Fedak also alleged that Adams told a local consulting firm to turn down a request by the board to conduct pre-election research work.

His complaint resulted in Conservative Party National Council President John Walsh issuing a letter to Adams, warning that the council had "grave concerns" regarding the manner in which she was conducting her campaign.

Adams later withdrew from the race, citing lingering health effects from a concussion she had previously suffered after slipping on the ice.

In a statement released Monday, Walsh said he informed Adams on Jan. 29 that she would not be permitted to run for the Conservatives in the next election due to “misconduct from the Oakville North-Burlington nomination race.”

"I communicated clearly that our Party takes our nomination rules and procedures seriously, and we made a commitment to run fair and open nominations, and any misconduct from candidates, including caucus members, would not be tolerated," Walsh said in the statement.

Oh and there is the gas station incident read on!

Yes many are leaving now before the new pension law comes into effect. A pension at 55 trumps 10 more years of waiting.

That law applies to all MP's, not just the Conservatives.

[valve37]

You mean Trudeau and Mulcair may be gone? Not Harper, he sez he has the best job in Canada!

[valve37]

So JT puts her in the finance ministers riding, one she doesn't have a chance in hades of winning. Guess JT just wants her out of the way. Unless she can stay an MP for a year or two longer, no pension for Eve.
