Siksay to retire from federal politics

I have a new story up on the national page of Xtra.ca, which was my sit-down interview with NDP MP Bill Siksay on his decision not to run again in the next election. We had a lengthy conversation, and a couple of things didn't make it into the final piece, which were largely around his peace activism and what this decision means for his personal life, given that he'll actually be home with his partner rather than on the road five or six days a week. And while the formal interview was fifteen minutes, we had a good hour-long conversation in the end. Siksay has been a great MP to cover, and I'll miss him when he does leave after the next election (whenever that may be).
