Bernard Lord Francophone co-chair for the federal Conservative campaign - An ASSet, or a Liability?

Surprise, surprise, Bernard Lord of New Brunswick is co-chairing the federal Conservative campaign for the Francophonie side. It is quite a gift from Harper to Liberals in NB (and yes, that is not a typo, I meant "a gift to Liberals"). Currently Lord is a persona non grata in New Brunswick.

Lord was a rising star among CONS in 1999 but with his failed administration and poor showing in the 2003 NB election, his star started fading. By the time the 2006 election was called, his defeat was all but certain and it did happen. NBers saw an immature cry baby Bernie when news came out that he lost the 2006 election. Since then he joined the list of has-beens. I do not think Quebecers can be fooled by him either. Good luck Steve.

Bernard Lord of New Brunswick: Official Languages Report

Bernard Lord has proven one more time that he's a loser. He sought an ambassadorial position with the Harper government, but former PEI Premier Pat Binns beat him to it. Then Lord accepted the Official Languages review from Harper and played patsy to him -- if Harper asked him to jump, Lord's only question was "how high."

According to the Parliamentary Committee on Official Languages, Lord produced a very vague document. For example, one important issue - the Court Challenges Program which the Harper goverment abolished - gets no mention in Lord's report. Rather, there is only the vague assertion saying that those aggrieved should sue as the courts are available to everybody. Yes Bernie, but it costs money.

Bernard Lord has proven, one more time, that he's a loser in BOTH official languages.
