HALIFAX-- The starting gun for the federal Liberal leadership race appears to have been fired in Nova Scotia.
A half dozen potential contenders -- and one declared candidate -- were in Halifax this weekend for the provincial party's annual meeting.
They're talking to delegates and testing the waters as they try to determine how much support they might be able to drum up.
There were so many possible leadership candidates there yesterday, they could barely avoid bumping into each other at the hospitality suites.
They included Belinda Stronach, Scott Brison, Carolyn Bennett, Ken Dryden, Maurizio Bevilacqua, and Michael Ignatieff.
Martha Hall-Findlay, however, is the only person to officially announce her candidacy.
The Toronto lawyer says she planned to use the convention as a way of introducing herself in Nova Scotia where she's not well known.
The meeting wrapped up last night.
