Sorry mate, I mentioned you while blatering away in a story, but at wasn’t until later I figured out the blogroll widget - by then Curtis lauched off and I got side tracked. It wasn’t till you mentioned it today that I noticed I hadn’t actually added your site to the list. Mea culpa - my bad - please forgive.
What’s really stupid is it was your blog that that made me decide to take another whack at blogging
I love the website - you fill a niche that needs filling.
So look what I’m invited to:
“On Wednesday March 19, 2008, in a lead up to Anti-Racism Day, Inkster MLA Kevin Lamoureux will hold a discussion followed by a short rally on the front steps of the Manitoba Legislature to protest the continued exclusion of visible minorities from the Premier’s cabinet.”
Except Lathlin and Robinson are visible minorities, and they’re both on the cabinet. Sigh.
Yes, the Liberal invite is a shameless attempt by Lamoureux to try to rile up the Indian and Filipino communities because MLAs like Flor Marcelino or Bidhu Jha aren’t in cabinet. Surprise, surprise, Kevin’s constituency has a large number of Indian and Filipino residents.
That isn’t to say that minorities shouldn’t be represented in cabinet, of course they should. But at the same time, ethnicity shouldn’t just grant automatic entry.

@Dana - Thanks for the kind words.
