After just one term in office, residents of Kelowna-Lake Country have voted former MP Stephen Fuhr off the island.

害羞草研究所淎s they say, the tribe has spoken,害羞草研究所 said Fuhr in a consolation speech at BNA on Monday night.

害羞草研究所淭he good news is I started the journey with 40 friends and I have a lot more of them now and we have a Liberal government at the end of the day.害羞草研究所

But, what害羞草研究所檚 next for the man that shocked the polls in 2015 by unseating the incumbent 害羞草研究所 and heavily favoured 害羞草研究所 Conservative candidate Ron Cannan, isn害羞草研究所檛 all that surprising.

害羞草研究所淎 nap?害羞草研究所 he quipped.

害羞草研究所淚害羞草研究所檝e obviously got to get back to Ottawa and roll up my apartment; wind down my office.害羞草研究所

And it害羞草研究所檚 that office that had Fuhr nearly in tears through the night.

害羞草研究所淭hat staff needs to stay at that office,害羞草研究所 he said, adding that he kept Cannan害羞草研究所檚 staff on when he got the job. 害羞草研究所淚t was a big help to me. I害羞草研究所檇 recommend that Tracy really consider keeping them if they害羞草研究所檇 like to stay and they can get her all up and running.害羞草研究所

When asked if he would make another political endeavour, Fuhr害羞草研究所檚 answer was succinct: 害羞草研究所淚 don害羞草研究所檛 know.害羞草研究所

害羞草研究所淚t might be a little early for me to answer that question,害羞草研究所 Fuhr said as the final results still poured in on the bar害羞草研究所檚 TV screens.

害羞草研究所淚 don害羞草研究所檛 know what the future holds for me. I think I can add value. I害羞草研究所檓 not ready to throw in the towel on adding value to something.

害羞草研究所淲hether that害羞草研究所檚 politics? I害羞草研究所檓 not sure if there害羞草研究所檚 an opportunity there or not.害羞草研究所

While the former MP doesn害羞草研究所檛 have a firm grasp on what his future looks like just yet, he does know where he害羞草研究所檒l be.

害羞草研究所淚害羞草研究所檓 staying here. I love it here,害羞草研究所 said Fuhr.

害羞草研究所淚害羞草研究所檝e been trying to get back here for 20 odd years when I was in the military, just waiting for the day I was going to retire and move back here to B.C. I don害羞草研究所檛 plan on going anywhere.害羞草研究所
