Former NDP MP Svend Robinson is heeding the call of Paris in the springtime!
Robinson, who left federal politics in 2004 after a tearful admission of guilt in a stolen
Ring incident will join something called Public Service International, a trade union organization which represents public sector unions in over 140 countries.
Robinson and his partner Max will move to France shortly and are said to be quite excited about the new adventure ahead. And well who wouldn’t be, the weather in France in Spring is magnifique, the baguettes et vin tres bien and the shopping is formidable!
The move however, will require not only change of address cards but an update to Svend's website.
Of course, as with anything to do with the mercurial Robinson’s career, the feedback is fast, furious and for staid old Candians even funny at times. The Globe and Mail had but a wee little story, no more than a couple of paragraphs about his planned move, while the comments section is overflowing with contributions from Globe readers.
It’s a wide ranging collection of thoughts on Mr. Robinson’s past career in Canada and best wishes (both honest and sarcastic) for a long and enjoyable life in France.
