Merv Wiseman, Conservative candidate in St. John's South-Mount Pearl.
Craig Westcott, Conservative candidate in St. John's East.
But not always such bosom buddies.
In April 2007, Merv Wiseman then president of the agriculture federation, found himself feeling nauseous at a Craig Westcott commentary on rural Newfoundland.
Wiseman accused Westcott of displaying the culture of defeat attitude toward rural Newfoundland that Stephen Harper displayed.
Ouchies.
Wiseman puts Westcott's comments down to an "urban" mind-set that doesn't understand the contribution made by the "rural."
Check out "The future of rural Newfoundland". The ram audio file links still work.
