One of the leading contenders for leader was a guy who was mayor of North Bay and has a lot of political experience. Pretty much rejected out of hand by the chattering class because he is a man. He has now announced he is going to focus entirely on being interm leader and cleaning house for the good of party

Adam Brown wasn't my favourite guy and I am a habitual PC voter. He seemed a flip flopper. Nevertheless I think it is sad that he got nothing anyway near due process. I personally know a few politicians and I don't think people appreciate how much of a slog it can be for a decent person. Maybe that is why we get so many oddballs.
