OTTAWA — Michael Ignatieff supporters are sabotaging Liberal efforts in the Outremont byelection in hopes of weakening Liberal Leader Stephane Dion, Dion loyalists say.

A poll in La Presse of Montreal on Friday suggests the NDP may win a historic breakthrough in the riding on Monday. That would be a disaster for Mr. Dion, who personally selected international affairs expert Jocelyn Coulon as the Liberal candidate in what should be a safe seat in downtown Montreal.

Obviously, M. Coulon's extremist views and anti-Israel position don't sit well with many Outremont viewers, particularly with Outremont's significant Jewish community. Like I said, nice going... nice pick, Stephane.

Dion loyalists suspect Liberal organizers who support Mr. Ignatieff have been undermining the campaign, hoping that a loss would force Mr. Dion out of the leadership once Liberals realized that he couldn’t deliver seats in Quebec.

"I only know what I see, and I see some suspicious stuff," said one Liberal worker on the ground.

Yep. Definitely united, sane and ready to govern, that's the Liberal Party, oh, yeah, suuuure. Just forget about the criminality, the corruption, the entitlement obsession, the incompetency, the appeasement of evil, the anti-Western Canada mentality, the lie, cheat, steal from Quebec behavior, etc., etc...
