Earlier today the Liberal Party of Canada elected their eleventh leader in Party history. Since early summer, we here at the Daily Wenzel had thought that Ignatief would take it - while the unfolding drama surrounding Dion caught us by surprise, we did mention in an earlier post that Quebec would be a turning point for the leadership campaign and the federal election that can now only be months away. What will be interesting to discover is the extent that this is true. Leading into the convention, it was felt that Dion was actually less well received inside Québec than elsewhere in Canada, though there were many questions asked regarding Ignatief's appeal in la belle province as well.
0f course, Dion's victory made it apparent to us that we should have picked him at a much earlier date, based soles on the Liloerals penchant for historical patterns:
Dion-French
Martin-English
Chrétien - French
Turner - English
Trudeau - French
Pearson - English
St. Laurent - French
Who knew?
