    Alberta Tory leadership contender Lyle Oberg was suspended indefinitely from caucus and stripped of his cabinet post Thursday over remarks he made about Premier Ralph Klein.

    I'm thinking of going to question period on Monday, just to see where Dr. Lyle Oberg will be sitting in the Legislature. I would call him Honourable, but alas, such an honourific does not travel with former Ministers of the Crown at the provincial level.

    I wonder which office in the Legislature Annex will be his? Paul Hinman's digs were slightly upgraded when he moved to the fourth floor, so as far as I know the utility closet... I mean spacious and gorgeous office beside the security desk on the first floor is still available. If memory serves it looks out to a view of the Annex dumpster.

      This is Aitken Discrimination!

      The Tory Caucus is just jealous that Lyle Oberg looks just like Clay Aitken.

      :P

      I hear Thomas L. was feeling threatened by Aitken's good looks. ;-)

      and I think he may actually sit behind Paul Hinman.

      It seems to me that when former Liberal MLA Pamela Paul became an Independent in 1999, she sat in a desk behind the then two MLA NDP Caucus.

      Talk about the ultimate insult, going from sitting in the front benches of government to having to sit behind the leader of a Caucus of one... maybe Oberg will join the Alliance?

      How weird was it that I brought up Pamela Paul and Thomas L in two posts - they both represented Edmonton Castle Downs... weird....

      and yes. I'm a nerd.

      I guess you missed the part when they moved the House would adjourn for Spring Break...
