Some Tories are spreading the rumor that Clark is suffering from an early stage of Alzheimer's disease.
Dirty tricks go back a long way in Tory politics.
The no holds barred tradition goes even further back in the Conservative Party. Segal has former New Brunswick cabinet minister Bernard Valcourt, and is going to be Valcourt's special guest at Edmunston's Foire Brayonne at the end of the month. Valcourt chose Kim Campbell over Jean Charest in the last Tory leadership race. He picked the winner, but months later Charest still had not forgiven him. Pallister's biggest problem is that he can't speak French in a campaign where about a quarter of all the votes are coming from Quebec.
