Harvard exit triggers Liberal patronage in Manitoba bid
The article accuses Prime Minister Paul Martin of a politicized appointment by naming Liberal MP John Harvard as Lt Governor of Manitoba to clear a path for Winnipeg mayor Glen Murray. It argues the move uses the vice regal post as a safe seat tactic and criticizes the lack of alternate Liberal MPs, noting Manitoba’s postwar liberal dominance and the cost and perks of the governor role.
