After expending much energy and time criticising the Liberal Party of Canada on this blog, I must be man enough to admit it! I THINK THEY GOT IT RIGHT, THIS TIME!
With so little to choose from (in terms of character, principle, scruples, honour - and so on) they actually ended up with the only choice for a leader who could actually bring these most important characteristics along with him.
Yeah, I know - there is still the old argument that another French Canadian leader just won't fly with the rest of the country - and maybe that's true... but if it is, it is a sad comment on Canada!
Stephen Harper had better wake up and smell the environment (and fast) or the Dion led Liberals are going to cause the Conservatives enormous difficulties in the coming months and years. Dion hit it on the head - there are many issues and policies to be considered and to be handled but none - not a one - matters a wit, if we don't get our environmental house in order (and fast!).
He continues to use that important word - SUSTAINABILITY! Watch, it will become the rallying cry of these DION led Liberals and I, for one, am listening. For a SUSTAINABLE economy, a SUSTAINABLE environmental policy, a SUSTAINABLE industrial policy, SUSTAINABLE agriculture, SUSTAINABLE social policies, SUSTAINABLE taxation - will be the most important keys to our survival as a world, a nation, a people, as a community and as families not to mention as a government in this rapidly changing world of the 21st century.
LISTEN MR. HARPER - and respond. Embrace this real need, endorse this only acceptable policy, welcome Mr. Dion and listen to him. Work with him, utilize his brilliance and his concern (we all share it) and LEAD this country away from the idiocy of the world gone crazy industrial, military, commercial greed - move us forward to a place of caring, of sharing and of leadership in the race away from a global economy and global annihilation!
Congratulations to Stephane Dion - congratulations to a completely unworthy party. Ultimately the real losers yesterday just might have been Martin, Chretien, the Raes, and the rest of the POWER corporation lackies who have used this country and it's people for their own SUSTAINABILITY for long enough!

Hey there!!
Wasn't that fun to watch? yes, I agree with you. Dion was the only man of the hour, though my heart connected to Kennedy during his speech........and I even became a Canadiens fan for 20 minutes listening to Dryden's passionate speech......"Unbelievable...."
I love political conventions......
sustainability......will become the ticking word.....yessiree.....Dion is an admirable and very bright man. I look forward to watching him take them all by surprise.
PS......Did you listen to Cross Country tonight? Dion was on for most of the show with Rex. Great radio.
Although we used to listen to CBC Radio a lot, I've gotten out of the habit. I do hear Rex periodically when travelling in the car on Sundays but otherwise, alas, not often.
Sorry I missed it.
We'll have to see - I was a little disappointed with Dion's coming out today - too much old Liberal bull!
Maybe it will disppear over time and we will see something hopeful take over.
