You mean pressured to step down? Absolutely he did, resignations like that don't happen that quick if you're not. I mean there was probably six hours or so between his presser and his resignation I figure the timeline basically went like so...
- CTV calls Brown for comment on the story they're about to run
- Brown huddles with advisors, many of whom urge him to step down, crafts a statement
- Brown has his presser
- Advisers who urged him to step down resign en masse
- Brown has conference call with caucus many of them urge him to step down
- Faced with no caucus support, no campaign team support, forthcoming intense media scrutiny, and consequently no chance of becoming premier Brown resigns.
