Betty quitting?

In an interview with CKNW radio, Betty Hinton reveals she is suffering from health problems and will not run for re election if the Conservative throne speech is defeated this month.
While we are unimpressed by her record as MP and we hope she is not re elected, we do not take any pleasure from the possibility that Ms Hinton has health issues. We wish her a quick and full recovery.

Election dysfunction

On October 7th, Betty Hinton told Kamloops This Week "she has received no instructions from Ottawa to be ready for an election." Two days earlier, on October 5th, senior Conservative party organizers informed the Globe and Mail they had "told candidates in a conference call yesterday" that the other parties would find the Throne Speech "absolutely unacceptable."
The Conservatives want an election and their candidates know it. The question is whether Betty Hinton is being untruthful, or is simply out of the loop.
