Moral High Ground

Ah yes, MP Garth Turner, Mr. Morality, explains how he will take the high road above all other politicians only if the others are willing to do the right thing by going into by-elections. Dion backs this up by stating that Garth did not cross the floor as he sat as an independent first then went to the liberals. You see the difference right? What the people of his riding have to say no longer matters to Garth. His own polling when he was first axed from the conservative caucus showed ZERO interest in Garth moving to the liberals. Garth's own poll

Resign your seat - zero
Negotiate back into caucus – 17
Join the Liberals - zero
Go Green – 17
Stay independent – 31

Maybe he has a new and improved poll that will show differently, once his site is back up and running? Don't you just love politics.....

If you have not seen the footage of the press conference yet, it is available at CTV HERE along with a shortened written article that misses all the fun stuff.

Update: Garth was interviewed by Rob Breakenridge at 770 AM available in the audio vault at 7 Pm. He did in fact say that he did another poll of his constituents and I will quote him now. "45% said stay as an independant and 44% said go liberal" I guess Garth forgot how things are supposed to work in a democracy. Something about a MAJORITY.... Again, so much for representing his constituents.
