So it looks like Garth Turner, MP for the Conservative party was kicked out of the Conservative party for his blog that he maintains, on his blog he openly criticizes his own party when he disagrees with policies of the party.
Turner made a recent return to politics, since he was an MP for the Progressive Conservatives in the early 90s, he was also the Minister of National Revenue for Kim Campbell.
I personally feel that it took quite a bit of guts to do what he did, but the problem was that he was elected as a Conservative and people expect him to win as a Conservative, but he believes to represent his constituents first, his party second, which is what each MP should do. Rumour has it he will make the move to the Green Party, be the first MP they've ever had.. who knows? We'll see.
