Though he supported Dion he doesn’t seem to be getting any support in return.
CTV story
Justin Trudeau is set to enter federal politics and seek a seat in the Montreal riding of Outremont, according to a report.
Pierre Trudeau’s eldest son joined the Liberal riding association in the relatively safe riding of Outremont about two months ago, Montreal’s La Presse newspaper reported.
But it appears some Liberals are opposed to the idea of seeing the former prime minister’s son run for the seat, the newspaper added.
La Presse reports that Liberal leader Stephane Dion was planning on reserving the riding for high-profile candidates who could help the rebuild the party’s support in Quebec.
William E. Demers says
Dion seems upset about a lot of things going on in his party. He’s beginning to appear like a puppet put in place by Chrétien and influential Liberals. He had no idea that Wajid Khan was going to defect and now he feels like Trudeau’s son is stepping on his toes. What’s Dion going to do?
April Reign says
Probably what he is going to do is worry some more.
Jean Lapierre will quit by month’s end
William E. Demers says
Fair assessment, April Reign. 🙂
Carol Taylor says
I can’t help it, I think I have to run against him! The first WOMANPARTY Canada PARTIFEMME election stunt may as well precede the big one. Unless someone else wants it instead, of course…
