We marked his entry into the blogosphere and now we must mark his exit.
Monte Solberg, the MP for Medicine Hat, was appointed to Stephen Harper's cabinet on Monday as Minister of Citizenship and Immigration.
In what looks like will be his last blog post "for a while", Solberg says "blogging just might have to take a back seat to Ministering." (He also notes that his roommate, the Minister of Agriculture, does not do dishes.)
The blogosphere was enlivened by Solberg's contributions. He was a minister who understood the form and, even better, we all discovered what a terrific writer he is.
I say all this, of course, in the hope that he reads this, realizes what a swell guy I am, and feeds me all the cabinet secrets I could want :)
