They get Khan and Emerson, we get GARTH!

We get Garth!

Independent and former Tory MP Garth Turner, is apparently making an announcement today at 5pm that he will be joining Stephane Dion's Liberal caucus.

This is good for a couple of reasons:

-He's blogtastic
-He is outspoken and will be a harsh critic of Stephen Harper, and it is possible his comments may carry more weight, as a former CPC member.
-We need all the help we can get.
-He deflates the supposedly big news day for Big Steve.

Bad for one reason:

-Takes a lot of wind out of the sails of any Emerson/Khan arguments that "you were elected as a Liberal/Conservative".
So, until I hear otherwise from the learned readers, I will say this is a good thing for the Liberal Party.
