Rod Love calls the kettle black
If this isn't the biggest joke of a newspaper column I don't know what is. Rod Love, writing a puff piece promoting Belinda Stronach in today's Calgary Herald, writes of "The Club" that has overtaken Ottawa.
The Club's membership is made up of lifers -- people who have spent almost their entire adult lives playing the federal political game. Liberal MPs, entrenched bureaucrats, media conglomerates, lobbyists, and of course the constant parade of experts and analysts on TV and radio talk shows who comment endlessly on the Ottawa scene, but who are, of course, part of it....While the faces of the members in the Club change over time, the Club culture and its raison d'etre remain the same: to preserve and defend the Ottawa Way of Doing Things....That is why I am voting for Belinda, and have been proud to assist on her national campaign team....She is running against the Club.
Please. He's voting for Belinda because she's paying him the big bucks. Rod Love does not work for free. This is what he does for a living. The irony here is that if the Conservatives ever win power in Ottawa, Love will be (or will at least try to be) the Conservative equivalent of Earnscliffe Group. He's pretty much the Alberta version of Earnscliffe right now because of his closeness to Ralph Klein.
