Apparently the Great Sulk has begun in the new PMO and the small circle of others it acknowledges:
Former Tory cabinet minister Garth Turner (Halton) - who was defeated in 1993 and returned to the House of Commons last month - wrote on his website he "came face-to-face with the party machine in a series of unhappy meetings," including a "sombre session" with Harper in the Prime Minister's Parliament Hill office. "I think it is now safe to say my career options within the Conservative caucus are seriously limited. If you would like a course on how not to be popular in Ottawa, then take a seat," Turner wrote.We've seen it before of course - the tiny circle of trust. Does it matter that PM Stevie is not a people person? I find it interesting. Why does he care enough to do this if he really doesn't care? If he does not engender buy-in, warm people to him and his way, what ever he does will be a blip - like much of Mike Harris's legacy. No revolution. No nuttin'.
Why bother?

Why should PMSH bother to be a people person? After all, he has never met anyone as smart as he is.

In that he is like me. But what would happen if he and I met?
