Opportunist or strong moral character? You decide

Liberal Edmonton MP David Kilgour is thinking of switching to the conservatives. Hmmmm...which way is the wind blowing again?

Kilgour, who was once a Tory but was bounced from the party in 1990 for opposing the GST, won his seat for the Liberals in the last federal election by a slim 134 votes. He speculated that if he runs again as a Liberal, he'd be finished.

"If you draw up a thing to make people want to vomit, this is it," Kilgour said about details emerging from the inquiry. "I have no desire for people to throw me out on my ear."

Kilgour has also vowed to vote against the Liberals' position in favour of same-sex marriage, and has been critical of the government for its handling of the mad-cow crisis.

Update: At least 4 more Liberals consider jumping ship to the Conservatives
