It was nice to see camera footage from Day 1 of Thinkstock 2010 where the few dozen people who could afford a ticket to see Ignatieff speak included none other than the profound thinker John McCallum. When all the other MPs were ordered to go back to Toronto for the weekend, MC Johnny is where he needs to be, setting Liberal policy. Personally I am relieved. As a Conservative, I am very excited to have John McCallum there on the ground determining the future of their party. This is excellent news for Tories.
It is also comforting to see Ralph Goodale in attendance. He's really my go to guy on "neo con social engineering", and I'm glad his fingerprints will be on the next Red Book. Speaking of influencing Liberal policy, I also noticed from the CBC coverage that "Happy Hour" was starting REALLY early in the afternoon. You know what that means; let's get lots of cameras to that convention lickity split! The CPC should hire a camera man to follow McCallum around all weekend. That would make great television!
Back to Ralph, I watched an interview with him on the Soloman Show (it was either him or a life size Goodale bobblehead doll) and he was railing the standard fluff about how the Tories have us on the wrong path. Meanwhile today even more data was released showing that our economy is exceeding even the most optimistic estimates. Consumer confidence is very strong, and the amount of money that the Treasury receives from corporations is up 73%.
Things are looking really good right now.
I hear an emergency call went out to all Liberal MP's telling them to drop everything and get to Montreal pronto. Martin at NP has a funny post up about it.
ReplyDeleteJohn 'Droopy Dog' McCallum is my personal hero. Stop mocking him. Also, leave Ralph 'I'm always angry about everything Conservative' Goodale alone. He'll be gone after the next election. Let him go peacefully... : )

Off to town for a night of carousing and mingling with the locals.
I demand that all liberal mps show cancelled cheques from their own bank accounts to prove they paid the entrance fee. If they can demand secret sensative documents, we should be able to see those cheques.
ReplyDeleteMaryT Would you settle for empty brown envelopes? I don't think lieberls know how to use anything that involves record keeping.
