YHM - John C. Munro Int'l Airport?
Noticed in the Globe & Mail article about Tango that YHM is the John C. Munro International Airport. Is this the guy who was some minister under a latter Trudeau government?

In fairness to John Munroe, his years after leaving Parliament got tangled up in a vendetta which left him broke and a bitter man, being hounded for something he was exhonnerated for. I knew him a bit back in the 60s because I dated his daughter, Kelly, and he was a very dedicated and fair MP and later cabinet minister. A very sad story indeed.

He managed to win a generous lawsuit against the Liberal Party/federal government. It's so typical of the Liberals to back stab their own. 
As for Sheila Copps, unfortunately she would have to die before we can have a chance at taking the Hamilton East riding.

Also, his (now ex-)wife was an MPP in Ontario under the David Peterson Liberal government. She was involved in a major scandal involving a Jewish society charity fund. This scandal helped bring the evil Bob Rae NDP government to power.
Liberals = never-ending scandals...

Alliance = unelectable far-right religion-inspired authoritarian party (and I am someone who wishes there were libertarians to vote for).

I wouldn't say "unelectable". As soon as we get the right leader, we'll achieve great things for Canada.

Don't forget FlyerAl that backstabbing is not limited only to Liberals (nor typical), the Tory's have done it many times (Erik Neilson) and the (former) Alliance was one huge backstab!
I'm no fan of our current Lib. leadership AT ALL, but in politics, anything goes.
Just look at BC provincial - the wild, wild west!
