Shortly after the coalition between the New Democrats, the Bloc Quebecois and the Liberals was quashed by Prime Minister Stephen Harper's successful suspension of Parliament until January of 2009, Liberal Leader Stephane Dion announced his resignation. Ignatieff was one of the three candidates to take over the party leadership, but the other two candidates, Dominic LeBlanc and Bob Rae, announced that they were dropping out of the race on December 8 and 9, respectively.The Globe and Mail: An aura of inevitability surrounds Ignatieff (December 9, 2008) CBC: The new party leader (December 9, 2008) Election talks increased following the Liberal acceptance of a conservative proposed budget plan in late-January 2009.Reuters: Canadian government safe, but election talk not far off
