I ended up at the sparsely attended late night Kennedy hospitality event last and had a chance to meet him. This weekend Kennedy was the kingmaker as he backed Stephane Dion which essentially helped secure his victory…
Martha Hall Findlay was an impressive candidate for Liberal leadership. As a conservative, we have fundamental differences on policy but I think that she deserved much more respect (read votes) than she got at the…
The Liberals have selected Stephane Dion as the next leader of the Liberal Party of Canada. The main thing that I noticed after his selection and the initial cheering, it seemed as though the energy of the room became…
Dion vs. Ignatieff on the final ballot. These are two candidates that we as Conservatives can run well against in the next election. Many thought that Rae was the preferred candidate but what I gather, Rae was the…

Wells and I must of heard the same BS. Now I hear that Lapierre isn’t going Dion. I asked Chantel Hebert her opinion on that rumour and she said it could never be true. Hebert again shows her remarkable wisdom on…
Looks like the backroom people might win this race. The common opinion among my media friends is that Dion’s momentum is the grassroots telling the party that they will not have their leader chosen. The old money…

Ignatieff: 1481Rae: 1132Dion: 974Kennedy: 884Dryden: 219 Looks like this one’s between Dion and Rae. It’s too bad that Dryden’s personality is so flat. He probably would have been a serious contender if he was able to…
