Federal leader New Democratic Party leader Jack Layton and former provincial party leader Jack Harris have trouble blithely dismissing Ryan Cleary's opinion about New Democrats or about the need to maybe remove Newfoundland and Labrador from "Confederation's death grip". [h/t to nottawa]
Scroll down in the nottawa link and you find another bit of the story as it unfolded, when Cleary scrummed:
the principles of the ND party, NDP, NDP best reflect who I am and what I stand for. I believe that Jack Layton is the best leader in this country to bring us all together. To bring Newfoundland and Labrador into Confederation.
To bring Newfoundland and Labrador into Confederation?
Evidently, Cleary missed at least one little piece of history.
