A smart comment about Stéphane Dion in the Globe and Mail

Here is a smart comment by one "d s from Canada" in the Globe and Mail.

Let me also add that Stéphane Dion is the go to guy who can make sure some good policies are worked out and ready to go when Canada's new coalition government begins.

This comment is such an antidote to all we were exposed to courtesy of the media and Harper spin machine:

d s from Canada writes: the part of this whole story which doesn't make much sense to me is how Dion is perpetually represented as being a weak leader in the press: This is the guy that hammered out the clarity act when confederation was at the brink, who was able to galvanize the support of the corners of his party to win the leadership, who had the courage to campaign on climate change, and somehow has been able to work with both Cretien and Martin in the same week to transition Canada out of the transitional stalemate of minority governments into that of a coalition parliament at the time that Canada most needs a broad and all inclusive government in the house.

Dion will definitely have a very positive footnote in the annals of history after this "coup" de grace.

Really? You think so?

What designs do you imagine the Bloc Quebecois has in regards to the Clarity Act, and how far will Stephane Dion go to satisfy them?

Canadians have a right to know the answer to this question.

Mr. Ross,

Thank you for your comment.

Perhaps you could put on the table what your question is, precisely. If you are accusing the Bloc of planning to get something out of the coalition related to the Clarity Act, please tell Canadians what it is.
