CPC MP crosses floor

[George Wallace]

I'm willing to bet that Soudas is the real prize here.

He is the baggage.  He did not follow orders to not become involved in her campaign, and got sacked for it.  Yes, he may have many 'secrets' being held in his 'portfolio', but at the same time his loyalty, honesty and integrity are currently in question.  I would hazard that he is just as great a liability as she is, if not more.  An opportunist.

No doubt.  But he will likely have many many secrets that he or she can use depending on how things go.  Slowly reveal something or point people in the right direction.  He can easily do all that from the shadows.  I wouldn't be surprised if we started to see some dirty laundry come out over the next few months or even during the campaign.

I agree with Crantor- Soudas is the prize, Adams is the price the Liberals are paying for his secrets.

This could be an interesting election...

Beware of Greeks bearing gifts...

Perhaps more accurately beware of gifts bearing Greeks.

This article explains a bit what kind of damage Soudas could do.

However, from I've been seeing and hearing, many Liberal's are not happy at all with this turn of events...

And some Grits will begin playing mind games. What if this is just the latest step in an evil Harper plot to plant a mole in our inner party circles? In this scenario Adams and Soudas are loyal Tories who have gone through a long, humiliating cover plot to infiltrate the Liberal party.

It's a CIA plot.

Me thinks, that her purposed riding will be the only open nomination in the Liberal party.  She will not get it, after they pump the boyfriend for what they need, of course.  She will get a handshake of "thanks for coming out".  It will be fire works for a month or two. 

 

[Jarnhamar]

She's a dirt bag who's loyalty goes as far as a pay check.  She knew she was on the way out so she grabbed the nearest life vest.  Is it a surprise that politicians don't really care for the party line? Nope.  Politians are just like porno actors. They're told what to say, who to say it to, what to wear, how to act then put in front of cameras.

I hope she steps on Trudeau's dick and embarrasses the liberals.

She has to win the nomination, and there's growing discontent in the riding association and party membership. That riding is looking to put either Joe Volpe's son, or another strong candidate with deep community roots up against Mr Oliver. That is, of course if he runs again. He's currently 74, although he appears to be in robust health.

If Mr Trudeau truly valued her potential contributions, he would have given her a much safer seat.

Had it been me, I would have said "Sorry, no."

I think I agree a few pundits that this is likely a move to put her squarely against the voice of income splitting.  Joe Oliver won by a narrow margin in a traditionally liberal riding amid accusations of voter irregularities and voter supression (none of whuich have been proven if I recall).  I'm not saying it is the best move but this might be the likely reasoning.  And should she lose eth nomination, or the seat, then as someone mentioned, it is no skin off Justin trudeau's back and he'll have gained a little capital in the exchange.   

I wouldn't be surprised if Soudas himself approched the Liberals with some sort of promises in exchange for his fiancee gettinga  kick at the cat.  Heck, he may have been the one to suggest that riding for reasons known to him.
