Stephen Dion
Dion is a little "nerdy" looking guy with glasses. Extremely intelligent, however, he lacks personality, humor and charisma. He was a cabinet minister that you never heard of during the Chretien years...He is a "veteran" of politics, yet..you never heard of him
(unless you live in Quebec..clarity act ring a bell?) before he entered the Liberal leadership race.
The newspapers draw him wearing a polar bear head on his head, and wearing something that resembles the green giant's green spandex...(a jab at his "greener than greeness" when it comes to the environment)....oh and he has a small yappy dog named "koyoto".
The Conservatives ran attack ad after attack ad, even though there was no election in site....just slamming Dion's lack of leadership abilities....and Dion took it like a champ and did nothing.
The conservative have had about 3 or so confidence votes..in all of them. Dion whipped the liberal party into abstaining..... or in the latest vote, walking out of the commons. Under Dion, the Liberals are basically sitting on there hands instead of doing what a proper official opposition does...oppose!!
During the Quebec Provincial Elections, Dion's Liberals lost 3 key seats...including a long time Liberal holdout in Quebec. Quebecers are choosing the Conservatives for the party of Federalism in that province!! ...hell must have frozen over!!
Yet, even after all this...Dion still refuses to do whats best for his party and step down. And let a more capable person lead the party. I would like to see Ignatief lead the party. I agree with him on some points...and I think that he is a leader, not a spineless clod like Dion.
