DE-Elect David Emerson

The Vancouver Raging Grannies are outraged at the actions of David Emerson, elected as a Liberal MP, who 2 weeks later was sworn into Harper's Cabinet as a Conservative Cabinet Minister. We support the voters of the Vancouver-Kingway riding who feel he should resign and a by-election held to fairly and honestly elect an MP who truly represents this riding. Some of us sang the following little ditty (to the tune of "The Old Grey Mare") at a recent protest outside Mr. Emerson's campaign office:

David Emerson
Ain’t what he used to be
He was a Martin fan
Now he's a Harper man
David Emerson
Ain’t what he used to be
Just a few weeks ago.

David Emerson
Elected to represent
Kingsway residents
Now he’s set a precendent
He made a mockery
Of government
Just a few weeks ago.

Our democracy is gone
Opportunism carries on.

We don’t want him
DE-elect Emerson
We demand our rights again
We demand to vote again
Vancouver-Kingway needs
To have its say again
And kick the traitor out!
