The Cat says that all this talk about "rejection" of the Quebec motion at the convention being unthinkable is utter nonsense. The motion was born of desperation, badly worded, vague and a potential time bomb in the Liberal Party.
At the convention, the proper thing to do is for Dion, Kennedy and Rae to put forward an amendment to the Quebec one which is clear, transparent, avoids any constitutional changes, and yet commits the Party to continue to address the distinctiveness of the Quebec province in its dealings with that province.
If Ignatieff and his supporters botch things up with rushed motions at turbulent meetings, thank heavens there are other more seasoned and battle-scarred members of the Liberal Party who can step in and clear things up before too much damage is done.
