Gerard Kennedy has announced that he won’t support Harper’s (in)famous resolution on Quebec nationhood (or not, depending on who’s talking). Of course, he can afford to. But still ….
Kinsella: “Folks, this is a big, big development. One week from now, I think this guy just might be the new leader of the Liberal Party of Canada!”. Coyne: “Holy jumpin’ Jesus … I guess Diogenes has found his man.” Cherniak: “Kennedy’s playing for keeps”. Morrow: “This is a principled stand and, in my opinion, the right decision.” Me: Oh my – now this is going to be interesting. I haven’t been this inspired about politics since the emergence of Barack Obama.
