I'm glad Garth Turner joined the Liberal party. I don't agree with him on a lot of things, but I read his blog (it's in my favorites list in the right-hand column) and I like the way he talks about politics and Canada. There's no "floor crossing" in this move: Harper threw him out of the Conservative caucus ages ago. He has done an amazing job as an independent, and we're lucky to have him.

Best Line on "Garth Day"
Green party leader Elizabeth May, poking a little fun at her friend: "The Green party will welcome Garth after he's thrown out of the Liberal caucus."

I too am glad we got him. Although a bit right wing for our party, he is definitely too moderate for the current Conservatives. Anyways this is just a string of defections of former Progressive Conservatives and I suspect this will continue as long as Harper is leader and the party stays well to the right of the centre. They need to get a more moderate leader like Jim Prentice and Bernard Lord and drop their idea of a far right ideological government, which Canadians have never wanted and won't ever want.
