This weekend, British Columbia's federal Liberal council will assemble in Victoria, bringing with them the expected gaggle of leadership hopefuls. On Friday evening, Gerard Kennedy's campaign team will host a reception for local Grits at the Hunters Club Bar and Grill between 8:00 and 10:00 (sans candidate). A day later, Joe Volpe - friend of Apotex Inc. employees and relatives everywhere - is holding a grin and grip session at Hugo's Grill and Brewhouse starting at 6:00. And, between 7:00 and 10:00, there will be a competing hospitality suite for Martha Hall-Findlay at The Fairmont Empress Hotel's Kensington Room - which suggests she's taking venue-selection lessons from Michael Ignatieff, who will also be in town.

I strongly believe that this race will come down to Iggy and Kennedy. I am biased, but at the end of the day, I think Iggy's going to take it home. Rae's been quite and the momentum looks to be out of Dion's campaign - there's information coming out that Dion is running out of cash and now he wants to change his image.
Dion is done. Mark Marissen and his chronies are done.
Take a look at the donations for each of the candidates. Dion has raised the same as Iggy, and has managed to raise a larger loan. He has more money than Iggy.
Looks like Jonathan Ross from TDH and Muhahahaha are feeling threatened by Dion, so they are trying to discredit him.
Cheap.
According to the Elections Canada Website, here is the cash flow for each of the candidates to date:
Candidate Total Cash Flow (Contributions Plus Loans)
Stephane Dion $217,400
Scott Brison $200,000
Joseph Volpe $152,700
Michael Ignatieff $142,200
Ken Dryden $105,000
Gerard Kennedy $100,000
Robert Keith Ray $100,000
Martha Hall Findlay $50,000
Sound like all of them are having trouble, but Dion is doing just fine, in comparison.
