When Dix attempted to forge that memo claiming his Premier knew nothing. Dix couldn't even do that right; it was so sloppy that the NDP's attempt to derail the RCMP criminal investigation was immediately identified as fraudulent. The RCMP raid the NDP Premier's house, he is charged with crimes, and resigns. Dix denies and denies, claimed he knew shit (which to most was believable), until he is put under oath in a formal investigation, and finally confessed the truth. Years later, claims it was a "mistake."

Dix was fired in March 1999, but rec'd a fat severance cheque, paid by your tax dollars, cut by a guy who worked closely with Dix in Lost 1990s.

A guy named John Horgan. Dix made Horgie the best man at Dix's 2007 wedding. 

Then, the NDP select Dix ..... to lead them.  Brilliant strategy, you can't make up comedy like this.  Now, tables have turned, it's Horgan's turn to lose, and Dix is still running, in riding in which he can safely prey on the poor & uneducated. Dinosaurs!
