He is meeting with Liberal senators and members of Parliament for two days in Quebec City. The Liberals will discuss the strategies and policies they will adopt when Parliament resumes Monday, after the holiday break.
Dion, who received a standing ovation from his cheering caucus Tuesday, conceded that it is a good thing the Conservatives are taking on some Liberal priorities.
"They are not doing it as well as we did, but at least they are imitating us," he said. "At least they are doing a little bit."
He said what the Conservatives lack is conviction. He accused them of not being as committed to the environment, social justice and economic prosperity as the Liberals are.
"Mr. Harper will never be able to imitate these convictions and Canadians know this," he said.

Expect little from life and get more from it.
Stupid is as Stupid Does.
There's very little likelihood that he could match *Stephan Harper is double-tongued duplicity.
*seeing as Harper is copying everything else, I thought Dion's first name would be next.

In the mid-1940's, the federal Liberals became aware of CCF policies, and moved to the left. (In British Columbia, WAC Bennett did it another way, but that's another story.)
In the early 1990's, the federal Liberals became aware of RPC policies, (Remember "Zero in Five"?) and moved to the right after the election - almost throwing their "Red Book" out the window.
Stealing the show? Of course. Self-preservation it's called. That's why fixed election dates are so absurdly wrong.
What, you actually think the PM of Canada has any say in how Canada is run????
