I have it on very good authority from a contact in Regina that the Liberals are in talks with David Orchard about running as a candidate for them in the upcoming election. There’s no signed deal on a napkin yet, but it does seem like a serious possibility.

I presume most of Orchard’s followers have already left the CPC so this wouldn’t be a devastating loss for the Conservatives, but it would still be quite the catch for Paul, all things considered.
