This thread is for all things political in Canada. Since the Liberal leadership is probably going to
change will start with that.
Liberal leadership contenders: Frank, Manley and some other adjectives
Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion announced Friday that he will hold a news conference in Ottawa on
Monday at 2 p.m. ET. Many Liberal insiders hope he will down tools and walk off the job he worked
so hard at lo these last two years. Liberals are baying for new blood to rebuild and return the party
to power.
But here's a thought... it doesn't matter who the new leader is, because the Liberals have bigger
troubles than the face on the posters:
An Ipsos Reid survey last month revealed that almost two-thirds of respondents viewed Liberals as
dishonest; 80% deemed them stale; 63% thought them phony; and 66% perceived them "out of touch
with Canadians like you." By the time Tuesday night's numbers rolled in, their popularity finished at
an all-time low.
