Will Canada listen to Dean?
By ASSOCIATED PRESS

TORONTO - Canada's opposition Liberal Party is holding a convention Nov. 29 to elect a national leader, and some party leaders aren't too happy about the choice of the keynote speaker - Howard Dean, chairman of the Democratic National Committee. They say the unsuccessful presidential candidate has no place telling Canadians how to win elections. The former Vermont governor lost his bid for the 2004 Democratic nomination to Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass. "I as a Canadian am appalled to have an American loser address a keynote convention that will choose Canada's next prime minister," Ray Heard, former Liberal Party communications director, told CTV television on Thursday. Other Liberal Party leaders say they are eager to hear Dean's strategies for retaking the House of Commons. As Democratic chairman, he helped Democrats reclaim the House and Senate in the Nov. 7 elections. The Liberals were ousted by Conservatives in January.
