Exceptions and rules

Good on Bill Casey for putting his constituents first by voting against the Cons' choice to break a promise to his home province. But it should be noted that none of the Cons' Saskatchewan MPs - nor any of the other Nova Scotia or Newfoundland members - showed any comparable backbone...making Casey an endangered exception among Con MPs rather than an indication that the party will rein in future promise-breaking by Deceivin' Stephen.

Update: And not surprisingly, the Cons are breaking another promise in response, making an example of Casey by booting him out of caucus.
