A vote grab? Horrible idea? Desperation? All three?

It's official -- the Dion Liberals have lost it:

Liberal defence critic Denis Coderre is calling on the federal government to build a Canadian Forces base for native soldiers.

"I think that we have to show sensitivity since Canada is also composed of first nations," Mr. Coderre said yesterday.

"The Canadian Forces have always reflected what Canada is," he said.

The base, which would be a first in Canada, would be built in the Restigouche area of northern New Brunswick.

Recall that until 2004, this was the most powerful political machine in the Western world, and their perceived invincibility led some people (like me) to leave the country. Glad I came back.
