As for the timing, I don't see why now isn't as good a time as any, no sense in waiting, just rip the band aid off.

I guess, it just seems weird as she wasn't exactly slaughtered at the polls. Are the possible replacements any more likeable? Do they think Falcon can help win back Surrey?
In the meantime the government can;t fall with her seat emoty, and its up to the government to call the byelection, how long can they hold it off for? It will be interesting to see if the NDP and Greens strike an agreement ot just run one candidate, not that it would make a difference in that riding.
