Globe and Mail Feature on Ken Dryden

Jane Taber wrote the Globe's feature on Ken Dryden today.

You can get a hold of it here.

Some good quotes:

" Mr. Dryden has emerged as the candidate with the heart and the passion and the enthusiasm about Canada and its future."

β€œI think he's more prophet than politician,” said Scott Reid, former PMO director of communications, who is not supporting any of the 10 candidates but who worked closely with Mr. Dryden in the short-lived Martin government. β€œHe says things that are insightful and leaves an impression with people. He writes with a poet's pen as well. He is definitely a politician of a different breed.”

"Whatever happens, however, Mr. Dryden says the most critical decision delegates will have to make at the leadership convention in December is to elect a leader who they believe can win the next election. He doesn't buy the view of some commentators that the next election has basically been conceded to the Tories."

IF WE WANT TO WIN....
