Trudeau challenges McGuinty to boxing match!

Liberal leadership hopeful Justin Trudeau says he would welcome Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty’s entrance into the race to lead the Federal Liberal Party.

With Monday’s resignation, McGuinty is suddenly free to run for the federal Liberal leadership, and if he does, he’ll have a ready-made campaign team all set to go.

For the past month, a draft campaign has been in the works to persuade McGuinty to jump into the federal fray.

Trudeau says McGuinty has served his province and country well and would add to what he insisted will be “a strong and robust leadership race.”

The perceived front-runner said today in Halifax that he didn’t want to speculate on McGuinty’s plans, just one day after the Ontario leader announced his resignation, but did say that if McGuinty did run it would be an interesting contest!

To get the the whole thing started, Trudeau has challenged McGuinty to a boxing match ………., much the same as the fight he had with Conservative Sen. Patrick Brazeau.

(You might remember that in a stunning upset, Trudeau brawled his way to a third-round TKO victory over Conservative Sen. Patrick Brazeau. The slender eldest son of Pierre Trudeau pounded his foe into submission during the first round with a series of unschooled but powerful haymakers. In the second round, his attack became unrelenting and Brazeau was clearly exhausted. The referee stopped the fight in third and final round..)

No word yet from the McGuinty camp, but rest assured that “The Perspcective Research Department” is followong this one with great interest, and we will let you know the moment we hear anything!
