Monday, December 04, 2006 Dion's first day Not too much to be surprised about: a healthy bump in the latest poll. Ahem, yet another reason for delegated leadership conventions. I'm with Paul Wells on this: the conventional wisdom on Dion in Québec is dead wrong. Just watch him. A bit of a rough start in Question Period today though, I thought. He did get in "neoconservative" and "far right" in his first question, which was impressive. Ignatieff seemed out of steam. I'll be discussing Dion's win on Rob Breakenridge's radio show tonight at 8:40pm ET tonight. Go here to listen. UPDATE: One issue that has received too little attention is the role of anti-free trade activist David Orchard in the Dion campaign. How close are these two? Will Orchard run in Saskatchewan for the Liberals? Who else will run for Team Dion? I would expect Christie Clark will jump into the first open B.C. riding given her husband's role in the campaign. Perhaps Vancouver Kingsway? # posted by Adam Daifallah : 3:49 PM    << Home   National Post peeps RSS - Syndicate me! Andrew Coyne J.
