One of two Liberal MPs from Alberta, and he's talking about crossing the floor to the Tories.
Apparently he's outraged over the sponsorship scandal. Actually, it's probably just that he knows he'll lose his seat in the next election if he doesn't switch.
Kilgour was a Conservative once upon a time -- but he defected to the Grits in 1990 over his refusal to support the GST. So this would be a flip-flop-flip for the man. He's pretty conservative, actually, and is opposed to gay marriage. (Useless factoid: his sister is married to ex-PM John Turner.) But should the Tories take him back? It would give them all but one of the seats in Alberta, leaving Anne McLellan as the lone member of the Alberta Liberal caucus.
But is Kilgour, who has shown no loyalty to anyone but himself, worth the risk?
