Liberal MP Ken McDonald, a Newfoundland MP who has broken with his party on carbon tax votes multiple times, has announced he will not run for re-election.

“I met with the prime minister on June 17, and I actually told him at that point that my name will not be on the next federal election ballot,” Mr. McDonald said during a July 2 interview on the Tim Powers Show on VOCM.
