The reason for his dismissal has never really been properly explained. In fact, Harper lied about it initially claiming it was an action taken by the Ontario caucus that he was unaware of. This was soon proven to be a whopper. But there never were details provided, just speculation subsequently taken as being fact. Most likely was that Harper was simply fed up with being publicly criticized from within his own party. <br /><br />Joanne -- That Dion will take him on board notwithstanding him being “a pain” speaks well for him in my opinion. He’s made it clear what his expectations are in terms of loyalty and discretion, so we’ll see whether Garth can adhere to that. Time will tell whether it was a good decision or not.Red Toryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00422305796158017027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20283843.post-58501071004044282172007-02-07T15:18:00.000-05:002007-02-07T15:18:00.000-05:00For those who are here right now, and interested.....For those who are here right now, and interested.....Garth is on the Charles Adler radio show.<br /><br />Hope you didn't eat too much for lunch. :-)<br /><br />anon #83Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20283843.post-62340030674178990952007-02-07T15:03:00.000-05:002007-02-07T15:03:00.000-05:00Is there any evidence that Garth actually leaked c...Is there any evidence that Garth actually leaked confidential caucus information?<br /><br />The fact that there is no debate in the CPC caucus, only presentations of the current policy from the Inner Party, does not count as confidential information.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20283843.post-62491145766579685782007-02-07T13:37:00.000-05:002007-02-07T13:37:00.000-05:00because deep down in your heart, you're scared of ...because deep down in your heart, you're scared of the implications...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20283843.post-46791311813871499412007-02-07T13:21:00.000-05:002007-02-07T13:21:00.000-05:00To stake out his position in the centre and attrac...<i>To stake out his position in the centre and attract disenchanted progressives from the old PC party making it clear that the radical, theocon CPC doesn't have to be their default choice.</i><br /><br /><br />Right.

Regarding Garth -- apart from going to the Green's, where could he have gone? The problem started back after the election. He should have left his laptop and cell phone far away from the caucus room. I'll bet none of this would have happened if he had. So, bottom line, Garth has to take responsibility for the way things turned out. It's not like the Pm and his conservative colleagues did anything. They just couldn't trust him. I'm disappointed he has gone over to the Liberals. But I actually like the guy. He tells em like he sees em. I don't think he'll stay Liberal longterm though, but time will tell. P.S. On the matter of granddaughter # 2, her appointment yesterday for her left wrist reset was for 3pm. She finally got into surgery for the reset at 8pm last night. She's glad it's over and went back to school this afternoon.
