WELLS ON THE IDEOLOGICAL DIVIDE

Paul Wells muses about the close of Parliament and the summer ahead. Harper will be out of sight plotting and organizing while Dion works on his reputation. Wells says the next election is going to be about big ideas. There is a big gap, a growing gap between the two principles in this epic battle to come. Their visions and approach too radically different to avoid a debate.

We are in store for an election that breaks the log jam and allows the winner to chart the country's future. Why, because as Wells says, the times demand it.
