It looks like Helena Guergis, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and International Trade, is over her head.

The Liberal Leader Stephane Dion visited Afghanistan recently and Dion said that she put his security at risk by revealing the details of his itinerary in public.

Now Helena has shown even more lack of judgment, in this Green Party person's opinion, by publishing the Guide for Simcoe-Grey Winter 2008 4th Edition, which is really a thinly-disguised advertisement for herself. The front cover shows a picture of herself and a total of eight others of the MP throughout the 16-page booklet.

Let me ask just who paid for your advertisement sent to many tens of thousands of people in Simcoe-Grey?

I bet the cost of the 16-page booklet and mailing it to everyone cost more than $50,000, and I bet the Canadian public paid for it.

We need an answer from her as to how much of her own money went into advertising herself?

It looks like she made another bad decision and is once again over her head.

Mr. Ellis is a former Green Party Candidate who ran against Helena Guergis in the 2006 election.
