On the evasive Rodney and those Green Party Showboats.
By Alex J.Walling
 Sorry, Mr. Premier but your failure to talk or to avoid the Ernie Fage fiasco is going to cost you what you want, a majority and maybe the election.

That Fage issue, for me, was the most poignant part of the TV leader’s debate the other night. And I wish Francis MacKenzie hadn’t butt in when NDP leader Darrell Dexter had the premier on the ropes. That could have been the knockout point everyone was looking for.
