An interesting piece from Norman Spector on the continuing story of grit infighting. seems the senior source for this one is probably coderre himself. Is catsmear going to find him and use his chaisaw? Will he destroy coderre's ambitions t lead the grits apres ignegative? Tune in tommorrow for the grit soap opera, Another World: The Changing Leader
In Le Devoir today, the front-page banner headline reads: “Liberals’ Québec wing decapitated,” reflecting an additional five resignations that came in the wake of Denis Coderre’s announcement yesterday. And, in the body of the article, a Liberal anonymouse identifies the Toronto bad guys Mr. Coderre had in mind. My bet, for what it’s worth, is that Coderre himself, or someone very close to him, is the reporter’s source. In any case, the Bloor Street black hats are three in number, according to the article:
Alfred Apps (president of the Liberal Party), Sachin Aggarwal (director of operations) and Daniel Brock (an Ignatieff adviser).
In La Presse, columnist Vincent Marissal puts paid to the whole notion of this being a war between Toronto anglos and Québec francos:
“Limiting Martin Cauchon’s supporters to a few Toronto advisers is simplistic. Denis Coderre knows very well that Cauchon’s principal supporter is Jean Chrétien, who’s still a heavyweight in the Liberal establishment.
Cauchon’s comeback and the support of powerful Liberals have not happened by chance. If Michael Ignatieff loses the next election, which is far from impossible, he’ll have to be replaced. Evidently, the Liberal establishment prefers Martin Cauchon over Denis Coderre.

"...Jean Chrétien, who’s still a heavyweight in the Liberal establishment"
This is all one needs to know about the current state of the Liberal party. The Godfather Puffin who wanted to sweep the Adscam poo under the carpet is still pulling strings. The party of Adscam is still alive and well.
trouble abound?
