The Crossing Of The Garth
**VIA CBC**
So Garth is going to cross the floor and join the Liberal Party according to reports. That’s fine. He is free to choose what party he wants to be a member of, as are we all. I hope though he’ll be resigning to run in a by-election, since it was his contention that David Emerson should have done just that when he chose to wander across the floor.
I won’t bet money on it though……somehow I don’t think it’s going to happen……
What's that flying out the window you ask??
That is whatever shred of credibility Garth had left flying out the window if he doesn't step down and run in a by-election......
How about it Garth??
Update 1:
Thanks to Scott over @ The Sorry Centrist
for pointing out my last post on the subject when the rumor was he was heading to the Green Party. My take hasn't changed.
Garth And The Greens
Update 2:
After listening to Garth's press conference with Dion all I can say is ....yeah right. Garth had the chance to come out smelling like a rose. I bet if he had resigned, and run as a Liberal he would have won, and gained a ton of credibility as being someone who meant what he said. His attempt at achieving the same thing by "challenging" the PM to force the others to run in by-election was a very weak one indeed. Garth signed his death warrant in Canadian Politics.........at least if there's any justice at all he did.
Very Disappointing.
