When Evan Solomon was appointed host of the CBC program Power and Politics, I didn't think he would be able to fill the very large shoes of the departing Don Newman.
He was missing about thirty years of journalistic experience.
And although I was right, he gradually began to win me over, in his own way.
In recent months I thought he was finally starting to lose his patience with the Cons, for parroting their PMO lines instead of giving him or anyone a straight answer.
So I must say this came as quite a shock.
