Dion, who has been travelling the country to boost his support since becoming leader in December, is trying to capitalize on anger in Atlantic Canada over how Ottawa addressed the so-called fiscal imbalance.

The premiers of Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland and Labrador have lashed out against Prime Minister Stephen Harper for including a cap on offshore revenues in a new equalization formula.

Dion has said several times he wouldn't cap revenues, and would instead respect the offshore accords the two provinces signed two years ago.

"I think people feel betrayed by Mr. Harper," said Dion. "Canadians need a trustworthy prime minister. It is what I will be for Nova Scotians, and for Canadians as a whole."

Last weekend, Dion visited Newfoundland, where he and Premier Danny Williams, who has vowed to campaign against Harper, pledged to work together if the Liberals win the next federal election.

Looks like Dion is campaigning as if the election could come this week. He is continuing to tap into the anger in the Maritimes over equalization.

Amy Kilbride, who sold Dion a bar of soap, said she likes seeing politicians interact with people

......posing for pictures and buying a bar of seaweed soap.

Is this Dion's secret weapon in cleaning up the environment?

What a lovely, feel-good, fluffy little article. The writers seem to be quite enamoured with Mr. Dion and the Liberal party.

They are lulling Dion into a false sense of security.

Once the writ is dropped BAM they'll get him.

For Dion to even be credible he first needs to learn the langauge of the majority, English, and for him to give up his French citizenship. He is either Canadaian or he is not, and a for someone wanting to be teh Prime Minister they first nedd to make up their mind whether they are Canadian or French. Dion unfortunately can't make up his mind, and sees nothing wrong with holding onto the citizenship of a country of cowards, namely France.
