Mr. Speaker, the director of news content for the Chronicle Herald said that “George Baker is a troublemaker”. The St. John's Telegram scoffs that he is looking for publicity. Rex Murphy writes that Senator Baker's support for a sovereigntist Bloc Newfoundland and Labrador “is useless mischief”. According to an editorial in the Globe and Mail, Senator Baker “should be repudiated, not indulged”.
There are many damning statements about the sovereigntist Liberal senator. But remarkably, we have heard nothing from the leader of the Liberal Party. In fact, you might say his silence is deafening. The title of the Globe and Mail editorial probably says it best: “Intolerable in a national party”.
Will the Liberal leader finally stand up, follow the advice of the Globe and Mail and many other Canadians, stop indulging a sovereigntist senator and kick Senator Baker out of the Liberal Party?
