Kelly McParland: Liberals to gather for super-mega-brainfest

Posted: November 24, 2009, 3:40 PM by NP Editor

The Liberals are planning a big think-fest in Montreal in March, to figure out what they stand for.

In a way you have to admire this: Rather than sit around the leader's office making up policies, Liberal worthies will gather for three days to listen to one another and hope some good ideas emerge.

In a letter today, Michael Ignatieff positioned the gathering as a successor to similar brainstorming sessions from the past:

The three-day conference, in the tradition of the 1960 Kingston Conference and the 1991 Aylmer Conference, will invite progressive thinkers and activists from a broad swath of Canadian society to discuss the fundamental challenges facing Canada in a new era of uncertainty and global economic upheaval. The conference will be a key step in the development of the Liberal Party’s platform for the next general election.
