Speaker of the Legislature
Something odd is occurring. Liberal MPPs are challenging Mike Brown to be Speaker of the Ontario Legislature. The two challenging are Steve Peters and David Zimmer. I find it odd that these two are challenging because both of them have a Parliamentary Assistant position that they would have to give up should they win. This would force a shuffle. I know cabinet ministers are not eligible to run for Speaker. Does this mean, however, that Parliamentary Assistants are allowed to run for Speaker?

Steve Peters would rehabilitate his career after being dropped from Cabinet.
David Zimmer is the odd man out. Too many Cabinet ministers from the GTA.
Mike Brown has the rural MPPs with him so he may win the cross section vote.
