Dion's Message

(Stephane Dion is late to his own friggin national taped message party. Why is this not surprising?)

...

...

Really? Really.

...

...

Another four or five minutes. Really? Really.

...

...

Still no Dion. I wish I was kidding. I'm not getting much beer into me. Liberals across Canada must be nodding along, "thinking, this is not surprising."

...

...

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz.......

(CBC misses the start...nice!)

- Two huge Canadian flags behind him. Subtle.

- I think they filmed this thing on hi-8.

- Focusing on partnership in order to fix something.

- Uh oh...getting into a lecture on coalitions.

- Tying it into the Canadian values of consensus, cooperation and other good C words that we should trademark around the world.

- Good tie. Not a great speech.

- Nothing about mean-spritedness or dysfunction thereby subverting my drinking game.

- "Rivals are working together all over the world. Why not in Canada?" Why not, indeed.

- "Let's get to work on the people's business."

- Maturity, nice.

- *Sigh* He still can't speak English well enough and he can't get over the mistakes when he makes them.

- Sounds like The Coalition is investing in everything (not education though I might add).

- "Live in dignity and developnew skills"...ummm, isn't this a bit like "ordinary families?"

- Who feels ownership over Parliament? Your Parliament. Raise your hands!

- And it's over...abruptly. This was not an Oscar winner, but these things aren't judged on production values.
