The Liberal MP for Halton, Garth Turner, is a very polarizing person. What of people who annoy him? Apparently, they can expect Garth Turner to lurk around parking lots, looking at their cars and taking pictures.

Main Story

In the latest entry on The Turner Report, Garth Turner decides to stalk Conservative MP Dean del Mastro:

For some reason, the Tories go nuts when I rise in the Commons, heckling and shouting and trying to disrupt things. This time it was Dean del Mastro’s turn, who took so great an exception to my statement that the actions of politicians have so turned people off it’s no wonder we enjoy the same status as used car salesmen.

A member of the Finance Committee, and a full-time apologist for Jim Flaherty, Mr. del Mastro raised a point of order with the Speaker, which he ignored. However, Dean managed to get it on the public record that I had defamed car salesguys. Odd, I thought.

So then Garth Turner decides to check into del Mastro by taking pictures of his car!

But then I saw his car.

Garth Turner publishes pictures of del Mastro's car:

Del Mastro is a used car salesman, running Del Mastro Motors Suzuki. It is a family-run business, so I suppose we might be concerned that Garth Turner will be off to Peterborough to snap photos of what the other members of the del Mastro auto empire drives, and so infer even more about del Mastro's views:

His taste in transportation may explain his progressive approach to the nation’s finances.

And the Liberal Party's taste in MPs may explain a great deal more.

Dean del Mastro responds.
