ShepherdsDog ShepherdsDog:
is the resignation the result of being excluded from the 'shadow' cabinet or is it really on principle?
Your point is valid. I would have gone with principal until the justifiacation of being excluded from the shadow cabinet. Sort of threw all the other justifications out the window.
On the other hand I can see why a northern Ontario MP would side with the Conservatives on the long gun registry. On this piece of legislation he would be representing the majority of his constituents. If he is a strong believer of NDP values then he would take his lumps a stay within the party.
Is it a a falling out now that Jack is not there as a binding force? I do not have enough information to say one way or another.
