Premier Dalton McGuinty: Surprise Resignation

Rules Of Engagement Dept: In a move that could strip the government of its top-ranked ministers, McGuinty convened cabinet one day after his surprise resignation and suspension of the legislature to set the new rules of engagement, according to The Star.

It takes too much energy, so you ve got to pick a lane, Health Minister Deb Matthews said, paraphrasing McGuinty s reasoning after leaving the two-hour cabinet meeting.
