A canoe alert right now...no story to link.

ALERT - Former Liberal industry minister David Emerson defects to Conservatives for cabinet post, Tory strategist indicates.

So the floor crossing begins. How many more will follow. Atleast he's been a cabinet minister to get one with the Tories (unlike rookie MP Belinda). Still it will always rub me the wrong way to have a person elected under one party only to have them cross the floor to a party with a different platform.
