Stephane Dion
Stéphane Dion is the current leader of the Liberal Party of Canada, the previous majority political party in Canada. He supports the Kyoto protocol, taking firm action against Climate Change and opposes Québec sovereignty. He holds both Canadian and French citizenship. Dion's family even has a husky named "Kyoto" which they purchased "to cheer themselves up after the Liberals lost the last [2006] election."[1] In May 1999, Dion was the victim of a pie-in-the-face gag.[2] Stéphane Dion has been criticized for being unable to speak fluent English.

The Liberal Party lost additional seats in the 2008 Canadian Election, and Dion said that the party lost because he did not get the Liberal message out, and took responsibility saying “If people are asking why, it's because I failed.” Dion has chosen to resign the leadership of the Liberal Party once it chooses a new leader.[3]
