Has anyone seen the environment minister he chose?

HOLY SHEET!!!!
She is one rather attractive young lady..

strange how SHE was the one who was around harper all the time...

what DOES worry me is that a conservative from EDMONTON is the ENVIRONMENT minister.
If kyoto is gonna be gone (and i'm thinking that a person in her position is prolly gonna give it a good ol' toss) you can BET the the replacement plan will have little to nothing to do with alberta with the PM AND the environ. minister there.

but dang...what a looker!
at least as politicians go eh?

Maybe I should grow up and stop finding those headlines funny.

I have only read one article on her, but from what I read I was impressed. She is a very intelligent woman and loyal. She won't be a Benedict Belinda.

Voted sexiest conservative!

She has very masculine features to her face, and the waterbuffalo hairdo doesn't help.

To each their own.

But all this is beside the point: Environment minister from Oil country? Sheeeesh.

Equally absurd: an Indian Affairs minister from Calgary???? and an Immigration minister from Medicine Hat?????

I cannot imagine three less appropriate backgrounds, especially considering the attitudes of constituents that the ministers don't want to piss off too much if they want to be re-elected.

i think it will be GREAT!!! I mean, if they do things that will make their constituients happy, chances are pretty good the vast majority of canadians will be quite happy....and vice versa.

Was thinking the same thing myself. In fact, if you look close she could very well be a transvestite!

Yes, pandering for votes is more important than experience when you know the next elections aren't far away.
