Liberal Party picks leader to head opposition in Canada
Montreal -- In a convention that underscored the rising political weight of climate change issues, Canada's Liberal Party on Saturday chose Stephane Dion, a former environment minister, to lead the party and try to wrest power from the ruling Conservatives in the next national election.
Dion, 51, was elected head of the party over seven other candidates.
In his acceptance speech, Dion repeatedly emphasized his top goal: dealing with what he called "the greatest challenge we have today, sustainable development."
