I see it more as policy development than electioneering -- either way I will be there and will be blogging!!!

OTTAWA — Michael Ignatieff's Liberals say a conference they are hosting this weekend in Montreal is a crucial step in the development of their policy platform and, they hope, a prelude to success in the next general election.
The Liberals are billing the Montreal conference as a non-partisan affair that brings together 53 speakers — Derek Burney, the former chief of staff to former Progressive Conservative prime minister Brian Mulroney is among them — to present their views about how Canada ought to look in 2017, the country's 150th anniversary.

Do you have to pay $695?
Could the Liberal party be more screwed up and fractured?
You bet, we ain't seen nothing yet.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
A note for times like this: Dec 09, 2008
The Liberals want to have a new leader in place before the end of the year, so they can prepare for a possible showdown with the Tories in Parliament early next year.
Rae had wanted all Liberal members to vote on the leadership. But the party’s national executive decided they would have a vote that only included MPs, senators, riding association presidents, club presidents, and defeated candidates. They also decided it would be on Dec. 17 – not enough time for Rae to organize a significant challenge to Ignatieff, who already had the support of support.
“I learned how to count a while ago,” Rae joked on CTV’s Mike Duffy Live. “I drew a conclusion that said it was time to pack it in.”
Liberal Sen. Céline Hervieux-Payette, who participated in the conference call, was reportedly furious over the process by which Ignatieff will take power, Fife said.
“This will destroy the Liberal Party, I’m devastated by what this will do to the party, they don’t understand anything about democracy,” she said, according to notes obtained by Fife.
Will he be pulling his spine out of a secret truck he's kept hidden under his bed?
He'd better do that, or he'd better leave.
