Gushue to run for Tories?

Brad, that is, not John.

It would fit the pattern for the current administration.

The Olympic gold medalist was asked by Canadian Press about politics being in his future. The reply, as carried by the Edmonton Sun:

"Well, there was a rumour going around that I was going to be running in the next (provincial) election," he said with a chuckle. "Maybe down the road, but not in the near future.

"I had three media outlets in Newfoundland call me requesting an interview because they heard I was running in the election and had been promised a (cabinet) minister's position."

Gushue might not be running but the Golden Boy of Mount Pearl will. That's the Bond projection and we are sticking to that one.

Steve Kent will run for the Tories in Waterford-Kenmount to replace Harvey Hodder.
