Breaking News: Comuzzi to become Conservative
The Thunder Bay Chronicle Journal is reporting today that independent MP Joe Comuzzi will join the Conservative caucus on Tuesday. Mr. Comuzzi is a universally respected MP who has voted with the Conservative government on Bill C-38 under the Martin regime, and more recently was kicked out of the Liberal caucus for voting for the 2007 Budget.
This goes to show that there is still a great deal of confidence in the Harper government, specifically on Budget issues. With the addition of Wajid Khan and now Mr. Comuzzi, it seems we are seeing a realignment of MP’s along more principled lines than mere party banners.
