Wars, and rumours of war....

So, who are the high profile Liberals looking to run? Top of my list is Desiree McGraw, who wrote the ground-breaking Liberal Environment Task Force report that got rave reviews from Elizabeth May, Leader of the Green Party, and who recently ran for VP English of the LPC. Also rumoured to be running: Marc Garneau, Liza Frulla, Martin Cauchon, Justin Trudeau, Brigitte Legault…

The real question, are what ridings are open? Ahuntsic will surely nominate experienced MP Eleni Bakopanos to take back the riding from the Bloc; but right now the open seats are Outremont and Lasalle-Emard…not enough for the current talent roster. Without warm Senate seats or other postings to offer, will the likes of Lucienne Robillard or Bernard Patry (recently nominated) move on to free up some seats? What about Mount-Royal; another potential battleground where long-time Liberal (and key Brison supporter) JJ Schneiderman is the local favourite…be interesting to see where the chips fall…
