I doubt anyone felt that John N. Turner's idea of no leader interference (at least in parachuting candidates - i'm certain that even Turner would agree that in special and extremely rare circumstances, a leader must have the authority to refuse to sign a candidate's paper)... but back to the meat of Ignatieff's speech. Calling the riding presidents to be more active, to feel activated and empowered, to utilize the 308-riding mantra as a means to success, is a winner. Hopefully, most of them take on the challenge (i unfortunately know a few ridings where it will take a change of leadership for it to happen)...burlivespipehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18048415779214466831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-41003328168079315832009-04-30T18:44:00.000-04:002009-04-30T18:44:00.000-04:00great coverage of the convention....i am stuck in ...great coverage of the convention....i am stuck in toronto thus depending on you guys for insights ...<br /><br />enjoy your time in my home town,<br /><br />francescoFrancescohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821665305220953856noreply@blogger.com
