    CTV.ca - Canadian Television's Web Destination 12/8/02 6:44 PM Mike Duffy: Allan Rock's cloud of bad luck By Mike Duffy, Ottawa Editor, CTV Newsnet Updated: Sun. Dec. 8 2002 2:50 PM ET Remember the Li'l Abner comic strip character Joe Btfsplk, the world's worst jinx? He could never get rid of the rain cloud that followed him everywhere. Some people here in Ottawa believe that description fits Industry Minister and putative Liberal leadership candidate Allan Rock. On the surface, Rock appears to have it all: Handsome, bilingual, an accomplished big-time lawyer who left the glitz of Toronto to come to Ottawa to make a difference in our public life! How many leadership candidates can boast of having hung out in college with Beatle John Lennon? But beneath the charisma, some Liberals say there is a man with the Midas touch, but in reverse. Too many of Rock's political projects have gone sour. When he was minister of health, there was the fight over compensation for victims of tainted blood. Jean Chretien and Paul Martin were running the government, but it was Allan Rock who carried the can. During the anthrax scare Rock tried to buy a generic form of CIPRO even though Bayer held the patent. In the justice portfolio, he was singled out for having launched the Airbus investigation which ended with Brian Mulroney being paid $2 million in legal fees. And now he's taking a share of the blame for the massive overspending on gun registration. Justice Minister Martin Cauchon and his predecessor Anne MacLellan, are only too happy with sit back and allow Rock to carry the can for this billion dollar boondoggle.

  • The 2006 Federal Liberal and Alberta Conservative Leadership Campaigns
    Choice or Consensus?: The 2006 Federal Liberal and Alberta Conservative Leadership Campaigns Jared J. Wesley PhD Candidate Department of Political Science University of Calgary Paper for Presentation at: The Annual Meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association University of Saskatchewan Saskatoon, Saskatchewan May 30, 2007 Comments welcome. Please do not cite without permission. CHOICE OR CONSENSUS?: THE 2006 FEDERAL LIBERAL AND ALBERTA CONSERVATIVE LEADERSHIP CAMPAIGNS INTRODUCTION Two of Canada’s most prominent political dynasties experienced power-shifts on the same weekend in December 2006. The Liberal Party of Canada and the Progressive Conservative Party of Alberta undertook leadership campaigns, which, while different in context, process and substance, produced remarkably similar outcomes. In both instances, so-called ‘dark-horse’ candidates emerged victorious, with Stéphane Dion and Ed Stelmach defeating frontrunners like Michael Ignatieff, Bob Rae, Jim Dinning, and Ted Morton. During the campaigns and since, Dion and Stelmach have been labeled as less charismatic than either their predecessors or their opponents, and both of the new leaders have drawn skepticism for their ability to win the next general election.1 This pair of surprising results raises interesting questions about the nature of leadership selection in Canada. Considering that each race was run in an entirely different context, and under an entirely different set of rules, which common factors may have contributed to the similar outcomes? The following study offers a partial answer. In analyzing the platforms of the major contenders in each campaign, the analysis suggests that candidates’ strategies played a significant role in determining the results. Whereas leading contenders opted to pursue direct confrontation over specific policy issues, Dion and Stelmach appeared to benefit by avoiding such conflict.
