Conservative Party Of Canada: Haitian Immigrant

Minister Paul Martin Dept: Before Marty Burke won the Tory nomination to run in the riding in 2009, the Air Canada pilot and former member of the air force was the all-too frequent author of letters to newspapers in Guelph and Kitchener, airing his grumblings about former Liberal prime minister Paul Martin or his admiration for Conservative Leader Stephen Harper, according to The Star. The Guelph seat is one the Tories are eager to steal from the incumbent Liberal, Frank Valeriote. The Conservatives narrowed the gap between themselves and the Liberal party in each of the last three election campaigns. In 2008, less than 2,000 votes separated the two parties and oTTAWA The Conservative candidate in Guelph once called the military mission in Afghanistan near worthless and ridiculed Micha lle Jean s 2005 appointment as governor General because she was a female, a minority and a Haitian immigrant. But on several occasions Burke s opinions, written while he was a member of the defunct Canadian Alliance party and later a member of the Conservative Party of Canada, drifted further afield than Harper might now be comfortable endorsing.
