Manley to Join Conservatives

The more I think about this the more it makes sense to me. A rival to Paul Martin and very critical from the sidelines.

John, why wait on the bench during this void in direction from your former party.

You don't like the way the country has come to a standstill. No progress on the U.S. files, increased spending that puts to shame the legacy budget.

The Liberals change leaders about every 10 years while the Conservatives do so every couple. Your former party needs to select a francophone next time around and the Conservatives require a sensible Ontario leader. Canadians are hoping for something like this to occur so they can dump your former party on it's ass.

So far, your name has come up only once at the Gomery inquiry and it was quickly forgotten. I'm sure your immune from most of the slime of corruption. You would give instant credibility to a party that wants to clean up government and govern in the process.
