Jason Cherniak is retiring from political blogging in order to pursue progress in the backroom.
Though some celebrate his departure, I do not.
Jason has contributed a lot to the Canadian blogosphere, and though I did not always agree with him, I nevertheless have welcomed the diversity he has added to our corner of the Internet.
His last blog post is one that I can agree with. Now is not the time to find the Liberals another leader. Maybe Dion is not the man for our times politically, but I sense that he can grow into his role as opposition leader and build a successful team which will move the Liberal Party forward. The goal of the Libs should now be to progress in Ontario and Quebec, and keep Harper and the CONs constrained to constant minority status, at best. Trust me: The CONs will not maintain party unity unless they can achieve a majority in then ext few years.
Jason still backs Dion, and he wishes to be part of that force of change. From my own experiences working in the dark rooms of another political party, I can say that one dedicated volunteer toiling in obscurity can make more of a difference than even the most outspoken blogger.
Best of luck, Jason.
