For the first time in recent memory, there’s good news for the Liberals in Quebec, with Marc Garneau agreeing to run in Westmount – this after a fairly public feud between him and Dion last month.

There was good news for another Quebecois star candidate as well today, as Justin Trudeau and Sophie Gregoire gave birth to Xavier James Trudeau. And, wouldn’t you know it, little Xavier shares a birthday with his grandfather. Since it’s never too early to start planning these things, may I suggest the following slogan for the 2059 Liberal leadership race: “Mark an X for Xavier”.
