Mike Harcourt’s decision to quit the NDP has raised the eyebrows of a political science lecturer at UNBC.
In fact Jason Morris says he’s never seen anything like it.
Morris says the timing couldn’t be worse for the party considering its currently going through a leadership contest.
Harcourt says he quit the party for three reasons – its ousting of Carole James, its opposition to the carbon tax in 2009 and because of Adrian Dix’s flip-flop on the Kinder Morgan project.
