Tribute to Micheal Ignatieff - Congrats to Stephane Dion/ Liberals Forever!


To so many of us out there, Michael Ignatieff has been a true asset to our party. He has done and will continue to do tremendous things. As he has said "I am not going anywhere" and I for one am greatful that he has come into politcs and given us all something to remember. He is a great leader, a great intellectual and although he did not win the race this party has still won in having him rejoin us in this historical way.

This past weekend has been absolutely phenomenal! Seeing so many Liberal from across the country come together to choose our new leader has been one of the most memorable things for myself as I am sure it has been for many of you. The momentum that was built goes far beyond anything I could have imagined. Every campaign - Dryden, Brison, Kennedy, Dion, Hall-Findlay, Volpe, and Rae- has worked so hard and each and every one of us ought to be proud of what we have accomplished! None of our work has gone to waste; It is truly the result of individual dedication that made this weekend a success and that will always make this party great. I welcome Mr. Dion as our Leader and I think that "tous ensemble" we will be able to defeat the Conservatives. He is a man of good values and has such a deep connection with the work that he does and for that I know he will be a strong leader that we can all be proud of.

I just want to take this moment to say a big THANK YOU to Michael Ignatieff for his inspiration, his determination and his onward dedication to the Liberal Party and to Canada. He truly has been a man of greatness throughout his life and this moment is only the beginning for him. I know we can expect great things to come.

And THANK YOU to all of you who have helped make this convention a great one that will be remembered for decades!
