"Do you think Stephane Dion and the Liberals can defeat Stephen Harper and the Conservatives in the next federal election? "

In 2 words: not likely.
Last week, on a thread here, I called Dion the least probable winner out of the front four because I simply couldn't imagine the Liberals being that politically stupid and, thus, them picking him would be akin to us winning the lottery.

He's despised in Quebec & most everywhere else he'll be viewed as:

Nope. The Bloc will again sweep Quebec. If things are good, the Liberals would be lucky to pull up to second. Stephane Dion does nothing to solve the party's real problem: its lack of organization and appeal west of Manitoba. The days when the Liberals could put together majorities out of central Canada are gone forever. Whatever the Liberals once were, its clear they are not a national party and haven't been for sometime. The Conservatives have broken through in Quebec and are solid in Ontario and are only poised to make gains in Atlantic Canada. As a national party, they have come of age.
