Despite their initial snub from setting party policy, several Liberal MPs decided to attend Thinkapalooza after a last minute emergency e-mail from Donolo. Evidently ticket sales weren't very strong, and they needed bums to fill the empty seats (triple pun score). I saw on the CBC coverage that cocktails started very early in the afternoon, which is great to know that alcohol will leave its lasting fingerprints on Red Book 2.0.
Breaking news from Saturday morning is that the Liberal Party is going to cure Alzheimer’s. I'm sure that is a great relief to all you aging boomers out there concerned about this illness. Why didn't anyone think of trying to cure Alzheimer’s before? The question is, will Ignatieff find a cure in time to help John McCallum, or has Johnny passed the point of no return? I suppose it happens that the disease is sometimes misdiagnosed with just natural stupidity. To all you Liberal partygoers hitting the cocktail parties in the early afternoon, you should be weary of the John McCallum hospitality suite. I hear terrible tales from the Crypt Keeper.
Soon spontaneous Liberal Thinkers Conferences will start springing up all over the country...
McCallum had better not try to board a plane tomorrow evening - how will he get home?
ReplyDeleteWow, some real original ideas coming out of the think fest.
ReplyDeleteMichael Phelps lectures on the best way to reduce carbon emissions is to tax it, discussion of how to impliment a ct followed.
Oh, and it's time for an adult conversation on healthcare...yah right!
When the Cons tried that, Chretien and Martin demonized us, 2 tier healthcare,
and used Alberta as the boogeyman.
note to Libs,
the Provinces that dared, have already done the carbon tax thing AND healthcare reform.
It's like these guys have been stuck in a vacuum for the last 10 years...and haven't noticed the Premiers are moving ahead, because the the feds wouldn't.
I dare Libs to try and take away those powers from the Premiers now that they have exercised them...!

ReplyDeleteAnd in other news that the MSM tries to bury well off of the front page;
With two months left to report for the 2009-10 fiscal year, the federal government has a budget deficit of $39.6 billion, whereas Finance forecast a $53.8-billion shortfall for the entire fiscal year. Should the momentum continue, it is possible the federal deficit for this fiscal year could be quite a bit smaller than projected.

With regards to Donolo's SOS - re: please show up for the soiree, it's an emergency and we are embarrassed that most seats are empty.
ReplyDeleteSome advice: Citizens of Canada, don't worry about what liberals think; they don't do it very often.
The theme song to this blog post is the theme from Sesame Street. In fact, one could do an amusing satire comparing the thinker's conference to Sesame Street...
