Federal Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff is making a swing through the city Thursday — in the morning he’s attending a Liberal party breakfast at the Lily Lake Pavilion where former Saint John M-P Paul Zed is expected to announce he will seek a return to politics. Over the noon hour — Ignatieff speaks to a Board of Trade luncheon at the Delta then he’s off to Prince Edward Island. Ignatieff is on a tour of the Maritimes as the latest polls show the Harper Conservatives and the Liberals in a virtual dead heat. Meantime — Saint John M-P Rodney Weston has called a news conference for ten this morning to announce some federal funding for the city.
