“I have had overtures from other party leaders,” Wilson-Raybould told me Saturday.

“It’s one’s responsibility to explore all options. So that’s what I’m doing. I feel I still have a role to play in federal politics.”

She’s keeping her options open, though Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer should not bother getting in line.

“I don’t identify with the Conservatives’ ideology,” she said, adding she considers herself “an independent Liberal” representing Vancouver Granville.
