751...I Told You It Was The Weather In Post 747

That was the post about Gary Doer resigning as Premier of Manitoba. In Post 746 I said that he dug the job just was sick of winter in Winnipeg.

His new job is also in a northern town but in a town that is the most northernmost city in the American South. He is the new ambassador to the United States capital of which is Washington, D.C. where the average winter temperature is pretty warm for a Canadian boy.

Our beloved Prime Minister Stephen Harper named him to the job, which includes a house, a car and no shovelling, less than a day after Mr. Doer hastily resigned his position as Premier.

You know what I think? I think that the PM offered Mr. Doer the job two days ago and told him he needed to be on page now. And that is what you think too.

747...Gary Doer Resigns

No doubt tired of the long Winnipeg winters, Gary Doer, the NDP Premier of all Manitobans since 1999, announced in a hastily called press conference today that he is resigning.

The Winnipeg Free Press reports that he won't run in the next provincial election in October 2011.

Lotsa notice there, Gar'.
