I posted various columns from La Presse and Le Devoir about Topp back in September-October. Le Devoir editorial board, Chantal Hebert, Lysiane Gagnon among them.

Citizenship: The knock against Mulcair is that he's too right for the base. In a general election, citizenship will become fodder- Rae and Harper have already said as much just today.

There's a Toronto debate tonight, probably livestreamed on the NDP website.

Wasn't there a high-profile female MP booted from the NDP caucus for opposing SSM a few years ago?

Sorry to interrupt the SSM discussion, but Mulcair skipped last night's debate here in Montreal for a meet-and-greet. Debate was otherwise fairly mild.

So who's the leading second-tier contender? Cullen?

Shocker: Mulcair's eager for a fight with Harper.

We did court him at the time as a courtesy. But ideologically he's a left-Liberal and so the possibility was always nonexistent. Liberals put more time into their courting- but they got another Quebec star shortly thereafter.

It was a pro forma request. The Liberals did a full-court press because they were looking for a good pick in Outremont. Mulcair joined the NDP, and Dion turned Trudeau down when he offered to run against Mulcair in Outremont- instead appointing a personal friend who got trounced. At the time we had Verner, Cannon and Bernier- so I doubt the PM was really looking for another Quebec star. Especially a headline-hunter like Mulcair.

On another note, Turmel is killing you guys.

Mulcair: Most definitely not. The Liberals put more effort into it, but bad blood between Dion and Mulcair (very unpleasant public exchanges when both were at Environment) would have prevented it, forgetting their policy disagreements.

Turmel: All she had to do was allow her frontbench to keep their Shadow Cabinet positions.

Quite frankly I find this a tempest-in-the-teapot scenario.
