Provincial NDP Leader Dominic Cardy has resigned citing clashes with both the provincial and federal wings of his party.
Cardy issued a statement yesterday saying he cannot lead a party where a tiny minority of well-connected members refuse to accept the democratic will of its membership. Cardy says the infighting and destructive forces will lead to another shutout at the polls for the NDP in the next provincial election.
The polar bears jumped in the water in Dorchester yesterday to start their New Year off in style.
47 jumpers took the plunge at the Lions’ club annual dip. Organizer Warren Folkins told the Times and Transcript the conditions couldn’t been any better with temperatures just above freezing and not a lot of wind. As one jumper from Newfoundland said, it was like summer weather in Newfoundland as he stripped down to shorts, a t-shirt and sou’wester.
The dippers all paid a $25 fee which will go to the volunteer fire department.
