Dion filching from Suzuki report -- the story spreads

Monday, September 04, 2006 at 10:03 PM

Normally when an unflattering story concerning a senior member of the Liberal Party is posted on a conservative blog, you'd expect most of the links to come from other conservative blogs.

You know you are in the middle of a Liberal leadership campaign, however, when the first links to this story about Liberal leadership candidate Stephane Dion stealing from the David Suzuki Foundation's "The Air We Breathe" report to create his "Clean Air Plan" have come from Liberal blogs. Are Liberals who support other candidates smelling blood in the water? We'll see.

Here are the links I've spotted so far from Liberal (or at least, non-Conservative) blogs. I'll add to this list if I see more:

• Far and Wide: Dion Steals from Suzuki? [ed, currently pulled by author pending further "homework"]
• Ramblings of a Northern Ontario Liberal: Dion steals environment plan from Suzuki? (with an accompanying graphic, no less)
• apply liberally: Well Known Facts and Common Ideas or Plagiarism?
