In Canadian politics

January 14, 2002 by Michael Boyle

In Canadian politics

, big news as Brian Tobin resigns. MJ Milloy has already posted a very good analysis of the news. All the pieces are there save this: Tobin has already done this once before. When he went back to the Rock last time, it was ostensibly the “give back to my home” jag, but really it was clear that it was all about going out in the wilderness to return a conquering hero.

The only question that remains: can it work a second time for Tobin? Most people only get one shot at the selfless exile pose. A second coming? Interesting, if cliche. A third? Very possibly a miscalculation.
