Not only is Stéphane Dion a long time Liberal, he has actually sat in the House of Commons for the past 10 years as a Liberal MP. And to top it off, he’s has always been ordinarily resident in the country that he hopes one day to lead. Up until the 3rd ballot at last weekend’s convention, it looked like one of those qualities would be missing in the new leader of the Liberal Party of Canada.

For those who dream of the Natural Governing Party being permanently relegated to the fringes of Canadian politics or more realistically want to see Stephen Harper and the Conservatives return with a majority, there can only be one choice for Liberal leader – Michael Ignatieff. Canada’s long, slow deathTuesday, November 28, 2006 For over thirty years now, a succession of federal politicians have diligently worked to kill the country that we knew as Canada.
