Sobara?

I was surprised to see Sorbara announce that he didn’t want to be finance minister.

He spent a year out of the office battling a RCMP investigation. He proved himself innocent and then returned to his old position with triumph in his eyes. Now there seems to be tears in his eyes as he declares that he is done. What the hell changed? What are these deeply personal problems? I thought he loved his work…what is going on here?

I’m not cynical enough to dismiss the idea of wanting to spend more time with the family as a real excuse. I’ve known many politicians in my day and I tell you there is no life like it. You never stop working; you never stop being a politician; it is more than what you do it becomes who you are. That kind of pressure can take a toll on those that love you.

But still, if this was really an issue why did he run again? Two weeks after he was re-elected he says he’s going to take a step back. Why did he commit himself to another four years if he wanted to spend more time with his family? Why did Robert Benzie think that he was so upset?
