It seems the Reform wing of the Harper Party (which is the most heavily feathered segment) has emerged to toss some raw meat at their constituency of intolerant fundamentalists. Not happy with Goebbels-inspired propaganda smears of legitimate political opponents, they appear now to be deciding what constitutes "tourism" and events which would promote it.
Not that I have much use for Diane Ablonczy, but it seems that she's now getting the Röhm treatment from her own kind.
Why, Harper's inners are even using the same obfuscating tactics: Duck, dodge, weave, never-answer-the-question. At some point I'm pretty sure you'll hear the word "disloyal" or maybe even "treason".
And for a detailed description of who benefits, we'll make a stop right here.
Interesting treatment of a long-time Reform/Alliance/Harper Conservative loyalist. But then, loyalty to a bunch of hard right-wing ideologues comes with certain risks*.

* For those who are itching to know.
More from Aaron Wherry who points out that Harper's own little oberführer, Minister für Kirchenfragen, the highly intolerant and unsavory Charles McVety, was passing judgment on Toronto's Gay Pride Parade and the Marquee Event funding as much as two weeks ago. Keep in mind, McVety, (who at some point was saluting himself as (cough!) Dr. McVety), has far too much influence with the Harper caucus and is quite likely the instigator behind what's happening now.
And, yes, we still need the matter of that "degree" of his cleared up.
And now, Ablonczy is referring questions about herself to the Industry minister's mouthpiece. I guess she hasn't figured out what the gun left on the table in her office represents.
