Marc Garneau WILL Run As A Liberal In The Next Federal Election - Buckdog Acknowledges

In a Buckdog post on September 26th, entitled Marc Garneau Kisses Liberal Party Goodbye, I reported that Marc Garneau was expressing frustration with the Liberal party and was not going to run in the next federal election.

Because Buckdog is a 'fair play' blog I am going to acknowledge that Stephan Dion has repaired whatever problems existed and to report that Marc Garneau will contest the next election as a Liberal candidate.

Buckdog would like to encourage all progressive bloggers to practice 'fair play' blogging. When I am wrong, I will acknowledge it.

Let's see Michael Fortier step down from the Senate and show the nation what good he is.

You said here about a year ago that you will ALWAYS oppose conservatives and right-wingers, whether they are right or wrong. Because they are always wrong.

Now you're saying you'll admit it when you're wrong?

What's up?

I have deep respect for Marc Garneau. I respect him a lot. I am also of the opinion that there was a fair bit of political skill used by someone to convince Mr. Garneau to reconsider. It is important for Canadians to have individuals who are knowledgeable in the fields of science sitting in the House of Commons!

I think Mr. Garneau has the ability (because of his experiences off of the planet) to be able to think in much larger terms then most of his caucus colleagues would be able to. I wish he was a New Democrat, but I will be happy to see him in the House of Commons as a Liberal.

Thanks for the comment - you have a great memory there!
