Two announcements

1. J'organise une campagne libéral pendant les élections provinciale ici au Québec. Donc je ne suis pas souvent disponible pour mettre à jour le blogue.

2. Michael Ignatieff will announce his candidacy for the leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada tomorrow. I have already made the decision to support his candidacy, and will be his chief organiser here in the Townships.

Why?

We share the same agenda, not only for the Liberal Party here in Quebec, but across the country. We have similar views on most public policy questions facing this country, and I am certain that, once elected leader, most Canadians will appreciate his candour, his "prestence" and his leadership abilities, as well as his positions on the main policy questions.

He is the best person to face off against Harper, who is trying to change the political centre of this country, to move it to the right. Michael is the one who can pull the Liberal party back to its traditional centrist base, and push the Cons back to the right where their ideology and their policies belong.

I can't tell you how many times, during my door-to-door during the last campaign, I was told "c'est dommage que vous n'avez pas Micheal Ignatieff comme chef." Well, I will work my hardest to make sure that this is the case come Fall '09 and the next probable Federal election.

So, for those interested, and who live in the Townships, contactez-moi à william@williamhogg.ca, and let's make sure that Michael is the one that leads us after Vancouver in May.

Bien à vous,
William
