NDP: 19 - 1 = 18

Looks like Ms. Desjarlais will be joining the likes of Ms. Parrish, Mr. Kilgour and Mr. O'Brien in the realm of Independent MP's.

The issue of same sex marriage was one of the lynch pin views of the party (like maintaining public health care is now). So Ms. Desjarlais will probably be better able to espouse her own views (and hopefully the views of her constituents, if they agree with her) than if she remained with the NDP.

It might just be that the SSM had nothing to do with it - the riding association may simply believe that Niki Ashton is a better candidate.; Wednesday, October 19, 2005 12:39:00 p.m.

How many members of the CPC can speak 2 languages, let alone 8. How many eve CARE to learn Cree.

Just saying, she looks like a good candidate. Much better than my MP, CPC Wunderkind and 25-year-old never-actually-finished-my-degree Pierre "Media Whore" Poilievre.; Thursday, October 20, 2005 10:43:00 a.m.
