This is Dion website launched

OTTAWA – The Liberal Party of Canada today launched two new websites in English and French that will allow Canadians to become better acquainted with both the public and private Stéphane Dion.

The English website www.thisisDion.ca shows another side to the Liberal leader other than that of federal politician. It gives voters a chance to see what Mr. Dion is really like as a person and as a Canadian. More importantly, it shows how inextricably linked his policies are to his personal values of fairness, justice and a love for Canada.

The site introduces us to his wife, Janine Krieber, and their daughter, Jeanne, as they spend time together skiing, talking and walking the family dog, Kyoto. An avid outdoorsman, we can see why Mr. Dion is so passionate about nature as we follow him while he fishes at the lake, hikes and snowshoes.

The website www.thisisDion.ca gives us insight into how his love for such quintessentially Canadian pastimes has fostered his love for Canada – a united Canada – which compelled him to leave a successful career as an educator to enter politics.
