Wayne Easter, a 24 year Liberal MP from PEI, has had senior parliamentary secretary and committee roles and was in cabinet as Solicitor General in the Chretien government.

This makes him a double threat to Butts and other central Canada big city slickers (accent on slick) in the PMO who control the government agenda and messaging and try to control the MPs.

Being from PEI, he has an "annoying" tendency to be a down to earth, common sense, honest to a fault parliamentarian whom speaks his mind candidly about government gaffes and stupidities even by his own party.

Being a 24 year MP, he knows how parliament should work, how the government should interface with opposition MPs and how major changes to parliamentary rules and to tax and other fundamental policy should be developed and rolled out.

In April, he criticized the government's attempt to muzzle and marginalize the opposition.

Now he is defending small business from the new tax grab.

God bless you, Wayne Easter!
