Kliege Posted June 9, 2004 Report Posted June 9, 2004 Flagging Liberals escalate attackChretien loyalist brought in to help. Justice minister warns Harper will destroy Supreme Court if elected prime minister Sean Gordon And Janice Tibbetts CanWest News Service June 8, 2004 Liberals launched a full-scale attack on the Conservatives yesterday with a stinging volley from the federal justice minister and news another Jean Chretien loyalist is being brought in to help the campaign. Following a weekend campaign of attack ads in Quebec, Liberal insiders confirmed late yesterday that former unity minister Stephane Dion has been brought in on an "auxiliary" campaign tour, which kicks into full gear this week while Prime Minister Paul Martin attends a G8 summit in Sea Island, Ga. The tour is to spread the word that Conservative leader Stephen Harper presents a "dangerous" risk to Canadians' rights and freedoms. Former heritage minister Sheila Copps, onetime leadership contender and staunch Chretien supporter who was marginalized by Martin forces, has also decided to become involved and was canvassing for Toronto Liberal MP Dennis Mills. Copps is set to campaign this week in Montreal, where Liberals have been lagging behind the Bloc Quebecois. Martin brings back Dion they must really be in trouble. Quote
