First Garth Turner, then Bill Casey

Now 'Steve-O' has another maverick on the loose. BC Tory MP John Cummins (Delta-Richmond East) rips Indian Affairs Minister Jim Prentice a new one.

A Vancouver-area Conservative MP has caused a stir by accusing federal Indian Affairs Minister Jim Prentice and his provincial counterpart of bribing natives into accepting a controversial provincial treaty.

Tory MP John Cummins (Delta-Richmond East) says Prentice and B.C. Aboriginal Relations Minister Mike de Jong are knowingly manipulating the Tsawwassen treaty ratification vote by throwing money at the band.

See, Steve. This is what happens when you're out of town and there's no (political) whip around. They remember that they have their own opinions.

The money-shot?

"They are unfit for office," Cummins told the Toronto Star last week.

Ummm... maybe we will have to make some popcorn this summer after all. So, which do you think it will be, a forced apology from MP Cummins for speaking out of turn or a little permanent time-out in a seat next to Mr. Casey's in the next parliamentary sitting?
