| Description | TORONTO — A trio of the Liberal Party's pre-eminent mechanics have joined the leadership camp of Toronto MP Michael Ignatieff, suggesting that a major shift is under way in the party's plate tectonics.
With the starting gun just sounded on the race to replace Stéphane Dion as leader, the names of Marc-André Blanchard, considered Quebec Premier Jean Charest's Mr. Fix-It; Don Guy, 2007 campaign director for Ontario's Dalton McGuinty; and Steven MacKinnon, chief of staff to former New Brunswick premier Frank McKenna, have appeared on the roster of Ignatieff supporters.
The three were not involved in the 2006 leadership campaign, won by Mr. Dion with Mr. Ignatieff and Toronto MP Bob Rae placing second and third respectively. |
