Joan Beatty courted, Dion oversteps

In the Prince George Citizen, they are reporting that Joan Beatty, the first Aboriginal woman elected to the Saskatchewan legislature is considering a leap to federal politics.

New Democrat Joan Beatty says she's been approached by both the NDP and the Liberals to run federally in a northern Saskatchewan riding.

Beatty has not made a decision as of yet but acknowledges that she has several to make, including whether to run federally and if so, for which party.

She says she'll talk to her family and constituents in Cumberland over the holidays and make a decision in early January.

What is of interest is that Dion is already touting that she will run for the Liberals??

Dion needs to show some respect, not only for David Orchard and other candidates seeking the nomination but to women as well. Appointing a candidate bypasses any democratic values but appointing a candidate whom as not even decided if she is willing to run for your party is downright arrogant...

I invite you to check out Angry in the Great White North, who makes an excellent point in his blog.

This coming from someone who cannot stand up to the Harper regime nor keep his own house in order...
