Gary Doer Resigns



Manitoba premier Gary Doer has resigned basically stating that you can stick a fork in him - he's done. (If I were Jack Layton, I'd be checking out my rear view mirror.)

Doer also let the media know that he definitely won't be one of Harper's newly appointed senators.

(In a related note, I had to chuckle this morning when I heard CTV's Roger Smith describe Mike Duffy as "non-partisan" when he was selected by Steve the last time around.)

No word yet on when Doer's leaving or who his successor will be.

Update:

Mr Doer Goes to Washington as the new ambassador to the US.
