Remember back when a new leader, accompanied by a flurry of retiring MPs, was supposed to allow the Libs to modernize themselves by replacing the old guard (including the most notorious paleo-Libs) with more progressive candidates?
Suffice it to say that the plan doesn't appear to be working out. And in light of Dion's current stand on nomination immunity, Huron-Bruce Libs and other progressives will be stuck with Steckle-Lite indefinitely if they make the mistake of voting the Libs' new nominee into office.
Fortunately, there is some good news, as the NDP looks to have at least one far more progressive challenger at the ready. And hopefully a strong NDP campaign will both result in a Dipper breakthrough, and force the Libs to themselves demand something better than another wave of the same old reactionaries.
