You can discount Stone for being a seriously disingenuous schemer.  He seeks to set up his bailout line, using his family as fodder.  Consult with the family?    Ha!  Translation:  if I can't drum up the political and financial support necessary for my leadership campaign, I'll say I have decided not to pursue it out of concern for my young family.

More shameless narcissism.  Just what we need in BC.
