Simcoe-Grey

The former cabinet minister is fighting for her political life against the full might of the Tory electoral machine

Helena Guergis is publicly asking for a little chat with the Prime Minister. In the meantime, she seems fairly satisfied with the independence that has been thrust upon her.

The member for Simcoe-Grey writes an open letter. The last paragraph might be the most interesting part.

Helena Guergis asks the Conservative Party to explain precisely what she has done to deserve her excommunication.

In late breaking news this evening, CTV reports the Conservative party has officially dropped Helena Guergis as its candidate for Simcoe-Grey.

Conservatives in Simcoe-Grey are concerned the party is attempting to bigfoot them. One potential replacement candidate says she’s not a candidate. Meanwhile, two cabinet ministers are politely refusing to appear before the government operations committee to discuss their knowledge of Mr. Jaffer’s behaviour.

And they are pleased.
