What a difference three months makes in politics. I was at the Liberal Campaign meeting on a Sunday in February in Mayor John Fenik’s office at City Hall in Perth. At that time, he was the campaign manager for Liberal candidate Philippe Archambault. Mayor Fenik wasn’t running for Parliament himself, as he was committed to completing a ring road around his city of Perth. We were discussing campaign signage when I heard Mayor Fenik mutter, “Don’t put your name on the signs, Philippe, because I want to use them next time.” I got it that in four years he would be ready to carry the Liberal banner himself. And if the absolutely unthinkable should happen in October, and Philippe should defeat Scott Reid, then Mayor Fenik’s dream would not be realized. Well, John, now you can have your name on your NDP signs and for sure you will be able use them in 2019 Federal Election. Why? Because you will have effectively split the vote enabling your friend Scott to win one more time, then retire after five terms as our MP. Good work, John. Oh, but wait, Philippe's going to win anyway! Here’s to your “principles”.
