Myron Thompson: Now a Liberal?
Wow - what a shocker when the very backbone of the Conservative Party crosses over to the other side, can't quite believe it...Either that... or Myron hasn't yet realized that the Tories actually won the last election over a year and 4 months ago! (I know, I know, Myron, I can't quite believe it either)... check out some compelling quotes from his bio that show, either he's now a sitting Liberal Critic (or still in shock at his own party's victory last election...which, just as a reminded - was over a Year and Four Months ago):
"Myron was first nominated as Reform Party candidate on June 13, 1992 and is presently serving his 4th term as MP for the constituency of Wild Rose. He currently represents the Official Opposition on the Justice Committee. He has also served as the Conservative Party's Critic of Canada's Child Pornography policies and has become one of the foremost defenders of the rights of the child. In the past, Myron has served as Deputy Solicitor General Critic in Charge of Native Issues, as well as serving as the Official Opposition Watchdog during the G-8 Summit in Kananaskis. Previously, he was Critic for Solicitor General, and Organized Crime; and Deputy Critic for Indian Affairs, and Canada Customs."

What I really want to know, is what's he been doing all this time in Question Period? He must have had a blast back when Vic Toews was Justice Minister...
