A number of prominent politicians at Queen's Park have recently decided to bow out: cabinet ministers Chris Hodgson and John Snobelen, Speaker Gary Carr, Liberal veterans Lyn McLeod, Sean Conway, and John Cleary. We're joined by three people, each of whom left politics under different circumstances --- and one who missed it so much he came screaming back: Greg Sorbara, Liberal MPP for Vaughan-King-Aurora and a former cabinet minister in David Peterson's government; Charles Harnick, who served in Mike Harris' cabinet as attorney general but declined to run again in the '99 election; and our own Ruth Grier, a former minister in the Bob Rae NDP government, who was defeated in 1995.
