British Columbians are probably weary after three elections, federal, provincial and municipal, in the last nine months, but federal politicians will immediately start preparing for the next campaign. With the Liberals in disarray they are not likely to contribute to the defeat of Prime Minister Harper's minority government but 18 to 24 months is probably the longest that can be expected in the absence of a majority. That is probably a good thing because keeping an eye on the next election will help to keep the government in tune with Canadians and away from philosophical extremes.

Replacing Gurmant Grewal was Sukh Dhaliwal from the same riding.

The way Martin and his supporters took over the Liberal party and the manner in which they behaved with leaders such as Sheila Copps and Herb Dhaliwal put off many decent Canadians. In the end, an arrogant Martin was reduced to a desperate beggar.
