The Fun Has Just Begun for Gary Lunn

The saga of S-GI has not ended simply because we had an election! Dirty "Tricks" Gary and his campaign continue to be the source of intrigue as the desire to Shun Lunn grows.

From the mirage of conservative popularity created by the 4 or 5 support groups conjured up days before E-day, to the fraudulent Robo-Calls of an Association of Progressive Voters with an identity crisis, the spectacle of Lunn's so called "New, Strong Mandate" will be the Achilles Heel of Harper's Conservative agenda.

The S-GI saga will continue to be the model of what is to come as people uncover the trail of "Lunn Loonies" leading to the deep pockets of the oil patch and coalesce around a common progressive agenda to turf him and his government's new mythical mandate.

In S-GI, people understood early the challenges facing the nation and worked tirelessly to bring attention to the divide and conquer agenda of those who prefer the status-quo over progressive gains. Those very same people will not simply stand by and let Harper claim a renewed mandate with the slim support of 22% of Canadians.

The Saga of S-GI has the potential to expose the underhanded practices of Harper and his ilk. Lunn will very likely see his cabinet post whittled away as Harper surely recognizes the vulnerability his incompetence continues to present in unearthing what is at the very heart of the Harper agenda.

I'd say the NDP has a bit of self-questioining to do, too. Who are those 3,440 supporters who did not know their candidate had been deposed by their own Party managers. Did they wish to hand the seat back to the poison dwarf? And Bill Graham has to wonder why he left the voting decision to his supporters, some of whom clearly had trouble thinking straight.

And how come Elections Canada, which reputedly spent up to $300m on the election, could not manage to strike off the non-existent candidate's name? I think we have a right to know.
