- The return of Garth Turner, as if Ignatieff didn't have enough problems
-
The Hill Times reports this intriguing news:
Former Conservative-turned-Independent-turned Liberal MP Garth Turner who represented the Ontario riding of Halton from 2006 until 2008 but lost the last federal election to Natural Resources Minister Lisa Raitt is now seeking the Liberal nomination in the Ontario riding of Dufferin-Caledon, currently represented by three term Conservative MP David Tilson.
Mr. Turner did not respond to interview requests but Judi Longfield, executive director of the Ontario wing of the federal Liberal Party confirmed that Mr. Turner is seeking the Liberal nomination in Dufferin-Caledon. As of last week, the Liberal nomination in the riding had not been called but Ms. Longfield said that only one other candidate Jeff May, president of the Dufferin-Caledon Liberal Riding Association, had officially entered the race.It can't really surprise anyone that Garth wants back into the House. After losing his riding to Conservative Lisa Raitt, Garth shut down the blog that got him into so much trouble, channelling Richard Nixon ("You won't have Nixon to kick around any more") and taking himself off to issue warnings of the approaching apocalypse while flogging advice on how to cope with it.
