Dion can't win in the west?
A new poll suggests otherwise.
Do you feel that Stéphane Dion is a good choice or a poor choice as the new leader of the Liberal Party?
| CANADA | QUEBEC | ONTARIO | WEST | |
| Good choice | 55% | 62% | 57% | 48% |
| Poor choice | 19% | 29% | 14% | 19% |
| Don't know | 27% | 9% | 29% | 34% |
His impressive showing in Quebec, his solid showing in Ontario, and his decent placing out west are all very encouraging.

As the poll report on CTV says, the numbers in Québec and Western Canada are flat.
The approval rating is completely different from "Who would you vote for if an election were today?"
Gotta keep these two apart, my friend.
I'm from the west and I know that once people out here get to know him and listen to him, he can win it.
British Columbians believe in Kyoto, they believe in social justice, and they believe in the economy.
Up until now, we've been bombarded by all the candidates in the press. Now they're going to focus on just Dion and his message.
He's passionate, he's honest, he's sincere and that bodes well out west.
As for his English, people need to just drop the issue, it's something that's absolutely ridiculous to keep bringing up. Same with him being from Quebec.
As Canadians, we want someone we can relate to and trust. We have that in Dion.
Ol' bud has a point. But then again, its the same point that should have been drawn on the Harpor honeymoon, which didn't see the same 'spike' of support. In fact, if i'm not loonie, didn't his numbers 'at best' jump by 7%?
Oh bud, I know stats are for you and your group. Just keep spinning as you were...
Keep in mind that the question is whether Dion was a good choice for the Liberal Party, not Canadian PM. Considering that Ignatieff, Volpe, Dryden, and Rae were alternatives, OF COURSE Dion was a good safe Liberal choice. He won't hit a home run for ya but he is stable.
Considering that Dion himself states that the Kyoto targets are unreachable, how does that help the Liberals.
He's passionate, he's honest, he's sincere and that bodes well out west.
Great he's a nice guy but is he competent enough to lead Canada? His Quebec background is not overly relevant but the mastery of English, it's a bit tough to listen to right now.
