We interrupt this partisanship for non-partisan interruption

After weeks of intense hyper-partisan attacks from all over the place. The lies, the smears, the blogs, and gotcha politics we get someone who can put the constituents above the politics.

Former Liberal cabinet minister David Kilgour is endorsing a N.L Tory candidate in his election bid.

Retired MP David Kilgour wrote a letter to a weekly newspaper in southern Newfoundland, urging people in the Random-Burin-St George's riding to vote for Tory hopeful Herb Davis in the Oct. 14 election.

In the letter to the Coaster, provided by the federal Conservative campaign, Kilgour says Davis is knowledgeable, compassionate and would represent his constituency's interests well.

Kilgour said he believed Davis would stand a good chance of making it into Prime Minister Stephen Harper's cabinet if the Conservatives were re-elected.


David Kilgour was best know for his advocacy for intervention Darfur. He is also the consummate non-partisan MP serving as a Progressive Conservative, Liberal, and independent MP.

Even though most people vote for the MP who represents the political party they like, it is really nice to see someone advocating for the constituent.

We're better off with Harper.
