Green leader to get free ride from Liberals


JANE TABER SENIOR POLITICAL WRITER Globe and Mail

Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion, who has vowed to run a positive campaign, has made a deal with Green Party Leader Elizabeth May not to run a candidate against her in the next election, senior Liberals say. In return, Ms. May will not run a candidate against Mr. Dion in his Montreal riding. It appears that Ms. May has negotiated the better deal, because Mr. Dion's decision considerably improves her chances of beating -- and embarrassing -- one of the Conservatives' most high-profile ministers, Foreign Affairs Minister Peter MacKay.
