The Globe and Mail Endorses Stephane Dion

Next weekend Canada's Liberals will elect their new leader. We can debate the value of newspaper endorsements. But when a non-front runner gets the public backing of the country's #2 newspaper, that would seem to be good news - at least for the Dion campaign, and especially since said endorsement runs down the weaknesses of each of Dion's competitors.

The Toronto Star (the paper with the largest circulation in Canada) on the other hand has picked Bob Rae (who served as premier of Ontario from 1990-1995, when he was a member of the NDP).

It's interesting that neither one has backed the man who's going to have the most votes on the first ballot, Michael Ignatieff (who, famously, was Rae's roommate many years ago).
