The Tory MP for Nanaimo-Alberni MP explains why he won't meet with local representatives from KAIROS:
Nanaimo-Alberni MP James Lunney says he won't be bullied into meeting a church group upset about federal funding cuts to international aid organization KAIROS.
"The message is, don't try to intimidate your MP," he said.
Context is important: the Parksville-Qualicum chapter (is that the right term?) of KAIROS has asked repeatedly for a meeting with their MP. Their "bullying" has consisted entirely of phoning that MP's office and, perhaps, sending him emails.

What the hell is this "Canadian Israel Allies Caucus," established in 2007 by the Knesset and chaired by Lunney supposed to be?
ReplyDeleteHands off our fundagelicals, Knesset! Damned if we Canadians are going to let the arriviste parliament of a couple of dry acres of dirt pluck our fundies for political purposes. This is Canada, not Alabama.
Seriously, some journo in Ottawa needs to start doing his/her job and get on this.
or Ti-Guy you could actually do something yourself like a Google search!
