ST. JOHN'S, N.L. -- The leader of Newfoundland and Labrador's Progressive Conservative party is stepping down after losing his seat in the provincial election, but he's not fading gently away. Ches Crosbie announced his resignation Wednesday morning while taking aim at the messy election that concluded Saturday and offering to help anyone interested in challenging the results in court. "I'm not expecting at the moment to go back to being a practising lawyer," Crosbie said. "But if someone were to approach me for help … even though I'm not allowed to give legal advice, I'd be of assistance to people where I could be."
