Stéphane Dion Leads the Liberals
I really wouldn’t have guessed this one: After initial strong showings for Michael Ignatieff, Stéphane Dion is the new leader of the Liberal Party, and the new leader of Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition. His platform put Kyoto front and centre (apparently, he even named his dog Kyoto —!) Now, if they win, they’ll have to follow through on it. Though, the Liberals had 13 years to fix things before now….
of course, this now screws up my brilliant idea for a CBC parody political show starring Ken Finkleman as his character from The Newsroom, now turned to politics and having become the prime minister in a sitcom-esque turn of events…

I haven’t been following this, but I wouldn’t have guessed the outcome either.
I was leery of Ignatieff becoming the leader, but at least it would have been a bold decision.
