Mr. Hamm indicated Tuesday night that he has every intention of making sure Cape Bretoners are part of the Nova Scotia family. All three leaders were headed back to the legislature, but the future of two was very much in doubt. Voter Kaz Siepierski said Tuesday that there will be a lot of soul-searching and tough questions. They'll have to look at themselves in the mirror. . . . If Mr. Chisholm doesn't fit the bill, he's gone too. . . .
Somebody has to look at the party and find out what's our problem.
Mr. MacLellan, who led the party for a tumultuous two years, will also face leadership questions. Shortly after the results began rolling in, several Hamm vans drove past the MacLellan headquarters in Sydney Mines - one of the occupants held a sign out a window that read Goodbye Russell. He also quashed any suggestions he'd quit immediately. I'm not going anywhere. I'm staying around.
