Angus 'Tando' MacIssac, the longtime Tory MLA for Antigonish has suddenly resigned, citing urgent family matters.
The former deputy premier did seem to be running this last time just for the sake of the party, in the eyes of one observer who watched him during the all-candidates debate at St Fx in June's general election.
Who will the Greens run in the by-election to be held in about seven months time, max ?
It is E. May's home turf and she polled very well in Antigonish town, the core of the riding.
But this hasn't helped the local provincial Greens - the two provincial candidates have both been parachutes, albeit that the 2009 parachute, Rebecca Mosher ,(Ms 'Evergreen' herself !) was born and raised and holds land in Antigonish.
She publicly decried the weakness of the local greens in Antigonish - asking why a university town and home to the Antigonish/Coady Movement should be about the weakest riding out of 52 in all of Nova Scotia.
Disgraceful !
And Antigonish hasn't exactly lacked money and staffers from the Ottawa offices of the GPC in recent years.
We'll see.
