The Full Monte

Yes, he's a Conservative. More distressingly, he's a Bruins fan. But I always kind of liked Monte Solberg.

He had a rather enjoyable blog back before it was "cool" for politicians to facebook and tweet. And he never seemed to take himself too seriously on it.

So I was pleased to find out he has returned to blogging. Actually, his come-back was last November but I guess I didn't get the memo. So if you also missed Monte's return, you can follow his new blog here.

Veteran MP Monte Solberg, a Conservative who came to Ottawa in 1993 with the first big wave of Reform MPs, is retiring from politics, the Tory party announced today.
