[Editor's note: Zach Fleisher's article in the Winnipeg Jewish Review "Switching Sides" was quoted in the Globe and Mail last week in an article  "WHY TORIES THINK THEY CAN TAKE MOUNT ROYAL", which examines whether the Tories can take Liberal  Irwin Cotler's riding in the next election. For what it's worth,  I wouldn't count Cotler out. Only time will tell. The article also says the Winnipeg South Centre is an area to watch. The globe article was written on March 11, 2011 brefore Raymond Hall's resignation for personal reasons that occured at the beginning of this week. Right now we are waiting to see who the new Tory candidate will be.

The Globe and Mail article begins:
