Breaking news: CTV citing unnamed sources says that David Emerson will not run in the next election.

Emerson won the riding of Vancouver Kingsway in the last election and switched to the Tories when Stephen Harper formed a government. He was unlikely to win this working class riding as a Conservative although the party was prepared to find him a safer riding. But sources say Emerson decided he didn't want to make the lengthy commute back and forth to the capital.
