Bench ultimate team player

Re: Hogg should take a stand, March 21 editorial.

Will MLA Gordon Hogg ever stand up and truly represent the people of Surrey-White Rock?

Does he have any ethical standards, or is he just another professional politician ensuring that his meal ticket is punched for another year?

Hogg bemoans the fact that certain parts of the Dyble report “turned my stomach and made me feel that some of the actions being taken were terribly opportunistic and certainly could have been deemed to be racist and not very respectful of the multicultural nature of our province and our country,” as quoted by the CBC.

Yet as caucus chair, he continues to strongly endorse the premier and whips all the other Liberal lemmings into line.

Perhaps the ultimate team player cannot recognize that his Liberal team has committed too many flagrant fouls with the HST, BC Rail and now the ethnic-outreach scandal, and there must be a game misconduct which only he can serve.
