Actually it turns out Witmer's husband has cancer, that's why she resigned. She just didn't bother to tell anyone until after the by-election.

Scott makes some good points with my favourite being about the NDP being able to use KW as an arguement that they can win in the Suburbs.
Oh and Hudak further humiliated himself by accusing the teacher's union of buying the riding. Meanwhile the donations from corporate and the wealthy keep flowing into his coffers. Hudak the hypocrit.
And now Hudak now has to deal with rumours he's going to be forced out as is Dalton. Personally I doubt either will go as thier probably not enough time to find new leader and no one else wants their jobs.
