While reading the morning news:
Does this not sound familiar to this? Well, if that is the case then we know what we can look forward to!
Secondly, I must express my disappointment in Stephane Dion for this:

Dion has been setting up his leadership team in recent days, naming key rivals to top positions. Michael Ignatieff, the perceived frontrunner for most of the leadership campaign, has been named deputy party leader.
Former Ontario education minister Gerard Kennedy, whose support helped Dion establish a win, has been named to the newly created position of special advisor on election readiness and renewal.
Meanwhile Bob Rae, who finished in third place, and Scott Brison, who came in sixth, were given responsibility for the party's election platform.
Martha Hall Findley, the last place finisher and only female candidate in the race, was asked to head consultations for the election platform.
Rae only agreed to the responsibility after Dion personally convinced him he would have a key role in the party, he would have a safe riding to run in during the next election, and that there would be key roles for some members of Rae's leadership team, according to the report.
Rae's new position means a former New Democrat is heading the process to write the Liberal platform, though Dion is certain to manage the details.
The two remaining leadership candidates, Joe Volpe and Ken Dryden, have so far not been given jobs.
So much for the Liberal Dream team. Both Joe and Ken deserve to be involved; Joe for his organizational abilities and Ken for his policy concepts and his vision for the party and for Canada.
Hopefully, come an election this will not be the case.
