Laurie Scott will give up her seat for John Tory and so he will finally have a shot at leading the Opposition party from inside the Ontario legislature as well as outside.
Laurie Scott will step aside after five years as a member of the legislature so Tory can run in her riding of Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock, near Peterborough, Conservative Party sources confirmed Thursday.
In fairness, John Tory is a very reasonable leader and quite different from the Federal Conservatives -- having him in the legislature makes sense and so we'll see if he wins the by-election.

I agree that Tory seems somewhat reasonable. I don't always agree with his politics or his strategies, but at least he hasn't been nearly as partisan as his federal counterparts. I do wonder, though, if he's just too much like Dalton McGuinty to be an exciting alternative to the status quo.
rural ridigs like that don't generally like candidates who aren't residents.. not sure it will go over well.
