In more ways than one;
It was a boy’s paradise. When young Stéphane wasn’t catching toads and snakes, he was usually caught up in an imaginary world inhabited by more daunting creatures.
“My first interest was for the society of animals, not of man,” he recalls. “We had a neighbour named Gaston Moisan, a biologist who was a deputy minister of natural resources. He set traps for the rabbits, to band them, and used to take me with him. He was 5-foot-7, but he was a giant for me.”
A charming childhood anecdote — except, according to Mr. Moisan, it never happened.
“I don’t know how he could have imagined that,” the retired bureaucrat and university professor says. “I had nothing to do with Stéphane. And I never sensed any interest on his part for my work.”
Stephane Dion – the Forrest Gump of Canadian politics.
Why should anyone be surprised by this. Only proves Dion is cut from the same bolt of cloth as all the other lying liberals. Lying must be a lieberal right of passage.
I keep thinking Dion should have a bandage wrapping the bridge of his glass’.
“de beet me up, an’ culled me names… luk at me now!!! Stupeed anglishmen! I crush yer heeds!”
there is help for this.

I found this on Al Gores internet invention.
These days you can find Gaston Moisan sitting on a park bench next to Chretien’s homeless guy.
One thing about Liberals they have great imaginations and are really good story tellers. It’s too bad that when they are in power the story reads like something out of Stephen King.
Wasn’t Love Story also based on algore and wife.
I think the Liberal BackRoom boys were stunned at Dion’s delegate victory and are having difficulty presenting him to the public. They are resorting to secondoary ‘references’ to Dion by journalists hastily asked to write ‘informative’ ie MakeOver articles about Dion. They can’t rely on first person impressions of Dion because those impressions are bad, bad, bad and they can’t rely on facts- for much of Dion’s factual history is either uninteresting or worrisome. So, they are doing a MakeOver of Dion.
Statements in the article about his love for animals – turn out to be fake.
Statements that ‘his English is many times better than Stephen Harper’s French’ are blatant lies.
Statements that his Marxism and Trotskyism and pro-separatiste ideas and acts were 24 hour blips and merely adolescent rebellions against his father are illogical. You don’t move into that mode of thought for 24 hours.
How about ‘his life has been one long clarity act’. Wow – but it’s a fact that he can’t say a single clarifying thing, other than come up with three mundane themes of ‘the economy, the environment and social justice’ – basic themes of all governments all over the world – and can’t clarify any policies….
And he comes across, in person, as authoritative, arrogant – and ignorant. Moving from the seminar room to reality, from abstract concepts to accountability for actions – that’s hard.
Notice the completely different treatment of Dion by the MSM – and their treatment of Harper. The MSM explains, forgives and even admires Dion’s reserve, coldness and aloofness. Harper, who is none of these – was damned by the MSM for being that. We heard endless stories about his ‘coldness’, his ‘shaking his children’s hand’ – (what 8 year old, in front of the lights of the press, wants his father to hug him rather than giving him an adult,grown-up-handshake?)
But the Liberal BackRoom are having a problem with Dion – and the G&M comments show this; not everyone is falling for the MakeOver Tactics.
My view of Dion was clarified when his first statements about Harper upon becoming the leader, was to call him ‘far right, control-freak..etc, etc.’. These were ad hominem, they were lies and they were beneath the dignity of a political leader.
And his lies – about Harper having consulted with him about the ‘Quebecois as a nation within a united Canada’ motion. Harper didn’t; Dion says he did.
Then, his own authoritarian and controlling nature became clear when he started to insist on his putting women into riding nominations, overriding the local actions.
And, his agenda of getting votes in Quebec by insisting that Alberta resources monies should be taken by the federal gov’t; that he would be in control of Alberta.
And his support for Kyoto – which is a money transference scheme.
Lots of things…
His pals in the MSM, CBC, etc. will help propagate this. Disgusting.
Milkman Dion speaks; emits more CO2. What did he say? Who can translate this bumpf?…-
“When you come to a situation to say, `Well, this budget is not as good as what we would have done but, you know, under the circumstances, we did our best to improve what Mr. Harper wanted to do and we may vote for it,'” the Liberal leader said on CTV’s Question Period.
He noted that it was Bloc Québécois MPs who supported the first Conservative budget, unveiled last May.
“This year, will it be us? Will it be the Bloc? Will it be the NDP? Nobody knows,” Dion said.
“And that means that we need to be ready for an election because maybe nobody will be in a situation to vote for a budget from a very right-wing government at odds with what mainstream Canadians want to do,” he said.
“I think the best we may expect is an acceptable budget. We’ll see,” he said of the budget, expected in March.”(TO Red Star)
“Social justice” is essentially a code word for
“money redistribution” from from the mouth of a Liberal closet communist.
“Social justice” seems to be one of Stephane Dion’s favored phrases.
didnt Cretian tear up the freetrade agreement in public then just continue on.
delusions again, maybe its the water?
Dion: “Open to supporting Upcoming Budget aslong as is don’t compromise liberal Values”.
What the H*** does that mean?
What Liberal Values
How to steal & keep a straight face at the time.
Use Brown(biodegradeable)bags instead of Plastic.
Just answer I was not there.
Or how to use the mean-spirited word sustainable as many times in a sentence as possible.
this could be a great new game
Name that Liberal Value
Bwaaaaa haaaa haa ha ha ha ha hew ahhh man this Borat Dion is really gitta be Jean Chretien and Hedy Fry’s love child….he even has his Daddy’s genetic penchant for spinning whoppers 🙂 …like the little immaginary homeless man “tit Gar created to fantacize about and impress the jaded media with his populist empathetic nature…now we have his bastard son Borat Dion spinning fairy tales about fwuffy bunnys in his imaginary bucolic childhood.
ha ha ha ha ha I bet this stilted elitist putz never had ANY experices like nornmal kids because he was always an insecire anti social isolated little prick…..and this is the telling tale here:
“My first interest was for the society of animals, not of man,”
The daft bugger’s an antisocial introvert that had to play with lab rats because none of the kids on the block liked him and he could not relate to their “normalcy”…..I can see these childhood resentments of commoners in his authoratraian-elitist bureaucratic demenor…he has a pathalogical need to strike back at the society (AKA normal folks who function outside his isolated little world) who rejected him as a child…he wants to show them all…he wants political power and he wants it to compensate for other deep insecurities and short comings as well as to use as a tool of revenge angainst his psychological tormentors.
Leave this bastard child in the basket on the pulic’s doorstep…don’t accept him in the public arena and don’t let him get anywhere near power…the bugger’s dangerously deranged.
more crap from the self loathing lieberals and their self loathing glob and snail friends. these people hate themselves to the degree that failure is the only way and that is the liberal way intolerance and failure. the record speaks for its self. Proping up this dopy university dork that couldn’t feed himself if he was stuck in a Safeway.
“Then, his own authoritarian and controlling nature became clear when he started to insist on his putting women into riding nominations, overriding the local actions.”
Funny, I didn’t notice this approach when he announced his shadow cabinet.
I watched giggles interviewing him on Question Period. They are doing everything they can to promote the French Citizen. Except nobody can understand what the hell he’s saying. Even giggles looked bewildered, despite Dion’s new and constant fake smile. The more he’s exposed, the more the French Citizen is going to do himself and his party in.
The imaginary world of French Citizen Dion:
– No-bud-eeee care if I’da French Citoyen.
– I can speeek da Een-glais.
– Suss-dain-ab-elle eek-on-amie will make profet huge.
– Kyodo is da ans-air.
– I under-dand da wehdareran peoples.
– I ave da dream team wid da beeg esperiance ev-air.
I like WLM’s “Borat Dion”.
That’s perfect … a parody on everything.
Borat and Dion both liked animals.
Maybe Borat Dion travels with his chicken , don’t be surprised if we see a chicken running around Parliament during Question Period.
It must be catching. First there was Joe I-See-Dead-People Volpe. Now it’s Stephane I-See-Dead-Bunnies Dion.
🙂
Looks like Harper has called his bluff and Bunnyboy blinked. “Liberal Values”. Hogwash. There is no such thing.
They’re trying to sell us a Disney version of the Librano stooge. I’m waiting for the scene where Bambi’s mom gets offed by an hidden-agenda, illegal duck-gun totin’, bible punchin’, jerky-chawin’, easy money makin’, pickup truck drivin’, ‘merican lovin’, redneck whoopass conservative, in our cities. We’re making this up.
Largs said: “These days you can find Gaston Moisan sitting on a park bench next to Chretien’s homeless guy.”
🙂
Yeah and on the bench across from them sits Borat Dion and his “sus-tain-a-beel-aty” 😉
Never let FACTS get in the way of a good story!!
I, too, like the Borat Dion title. If the shoe fits, etc.
Dion: “Open to supporting Upcoming Budget aslong as is don’t compromise liberal Values”.
It means they need somewhere to access the money- somewhere to steal it from, some sort of program they can get their hooks into.
“we are owpen to zupporting de upcomink budge et aschlong as id dozen calm promise libarrel values” Borat Dion.
I am still perplexed as to how so many Canadian voters actualy believe the B*** S*** that the Leiberals spew. Like when cretien got caught lying about his imaginary friend; MSM believed this “compilation person” story and nothing else was said of it.
“I am still perplexed as to how so many Canadian voters actualy believe the B*** S***”
Perplexed? I’m actually stunned, shocked, guffawed, etc, etc. Just look at some of the comments.
“I thought it was a great indepth article, my faith in the liberals has been restored”
Puked a little in my mouth typing that one. Seriously, how stupid can Canadians be?
If this is true it makes sense.
Stephane imagined he was helping the environment when the liberals were in power and the toxic emmissions etc. went up even faster than those of the “evil empire” down south.
Stephane imagined that he helped a biologist in his youth. Apparently that too was not so.
Stephane imagines that he was selected by the liberal party to be the leader. He was selected to take the heat off the “liberal old boys club” and be easy to dispose of when the time looked ripe for the old boys to get back at it.
I wish I could be a liberal. Unfortunately my parents inflicted me with scruples, a conscience and an IQ above room temperature so I cannot meet the entry requirements.
“these people hate themselves….”
I think you’re confusing your feelings towards them for their feelings towards themselves.
“We had a neighbour named Gaston Moisan, a biologist who was a deputy minister of natural resources.”
Jesu Christi! He even grew up with bureaucrats and politicians! He’s never lived in the real world! Good God man!
If anyone thinks Dion is popular in Quebec, they’re in for a big shock… “When he appeared on
the Télé-Québec public affairs show Les Francs-tireurs last fall, interviewer Patrick Lagacé
asked him to prove that he has a sense of humour.”
Mr. Dion replied by asking whether he was familiar with the world’s shortest bedtime story.
“Do you know Bam, The Dog?”
Mr. Lagacé admitted he did not, so Mr. Dion recited it for him: “The car goes by, and bam,
the dog. Now go to sleep.”
Mr. Lagacé was incredulous. “It’s not funny,” he said as Mr. Dion laughed almost uncontrollably
and, it turned out, viewers squirmed.
We’re talkin’ “invisible friend” scary over here.
breathtakingly arrogant,completely ignorant of our western values of hard work and our long supressed industries, why are there no steel mills in western canada? We have the coal, iron ore, well “it’s good for canada” thay we buy eastern steel and ship it 2000 miles. Our farmers are locked to the wheat board, and now we are “living too fast on the easy money” of our oil sands. meanwhile Quebec enjoys the bulk of the milk and cheese industry I could go on and on we have nothing to lose but our chains. Meanwhile Quebec is insisting on the bulk of the maintenance for the new “heavy lift” planes yet they will not support our military how ironic. Bubba wrote this

I would doubt if this story will never see the light of day on any of our friendly, neighbourhood Liberal blogs. I can’t see any staunch Liberal, particularly any who are still enamoured with their new leader, allowing it to even be mentioned, or referred to, in a comment. But, hey, I do believe in miracles.

kate provides a snippit of an article that suits her purpose, provides a link to the whole piece and knows that her readers will promptly ignore the link and take kate’s spin as the gospel.
brian in calgary is an excellent example. brian thinks kate’s selective cut and paste skills are the story. an actual journalist took the time to write a 12 page article about monsiuer dion. take the time to read it before you claim to know the story.
I didn’t spin anything. I quoted. Deal with it.
Yeah joke, er, jeff, I read it and it’s just a usual G&M bootlicking puff piece. So what else is new in la la liberal land.
The funniest thing is that Kate chose to highlight the most prominent feature of the article, irrefutable proof that Dion lives in a fantasy–I’m sure it’s your fantasy too.
“kate provides a snippit of an article that suits her purpose, provides a link to the whole piece and knows that her readers will promptly ignore the link and take kate’s spin as the gospel.”
So now you KNOW that ALL reader’s here will just puruse the article?
I read it entirely and I’ll read it again if I feel the need to masterbate over dion.
Idiot.
Excellent…I smell CO2 coming from Dion…that can only mean conservative majority.
Jeff – are you saying the story didn’t happen? When you say an “actual journalist took the time to write a 12 page article” that is something I find more unsettling than what Kate does. How many times have so-called “journalists” been shown to be biased, inaccurate and indeed dishonest and fraudulent in their reportings and writings. I’m not sure what your point is here. Are you saying that what Kate is reporting is wrong or that this story has been misrepresented by the journalist? Or maybe you’re a fan of Mr. Dion and have coming running over to defend him.
I read the whole thing, it was similar to Sacha Trudeau’s love story about Castro.even down to the physical description.
Lunacy is explained away by imagination – maybe an 8 year old imagines things, we tend to discount them before we hit political office.
Stephen Harpers French worse than Stephanes English — I dont think so.
Anyone that can laugh hysterically over a dog getting killed,after being hit by a car would never in a million yrs warrant a second look from me.Way to alienate another block of people (animal lovers)from your all-inclusive Liberal twisted “values”.He just makes me cringe,and the dead dog “joke”,made me want to gag,then cry.Sickening,arrogant ass.
Isn’t there a name for the disease or mental condition one suffers from when they see and hear imaginary things. People have committed horrible crimes because the voices said to. Dions voices are telling him to destroy Canada, and he and the media are trying to do it. I think there is a pill to help with his condition.
I’ve noticed that certain newspapers have taken to logically and grammatically correcting what Dion says and then reinserting into quotes for their articles.
Here’s an idea that will challenge the credibility of both Dion and his press agents:
If we all could participate in recording what the French Citizen says on television and then compare it to the editorializing in the press, we’d have them both. No further proof of press bias needed. And no further proof of his non-ability to communicate in English needed either.
Hit post before I was finished. What is with liberal leaders. King consulted his dog, and his mothers spirit, Chretain consulted his imaginary homeless friend. Dion is telling about an imaginery friend, and a dog being killed. I can’t wait for his conversation with napoleon on his french citizenship. Now he is saying he joined the separtist party to stand up to his father, but tells us he respects his mother. Didn’t he respect his mothers husband.
The media is probably happy they can now zero in on the BC trial, and forget about a lovefest with Dion, and we ignorant cdns will see the light by the time they get back to phoney stories.
If you read the whole article, you also find he grew up in a home that practiced voter fraud. He must be liberal
Did Dion grow up watching Monsieur Eduoard ze talking cheval?
Did ze taliking cheval Eduoard teech heem many pheelosophees of ze liberal politics?
I’d love to see dion do cool hand luke.
waat wee ave ere ees a faloor to kamoonikate.
jeff says, an actual journalist took the time to write a 12 page article about monsiuer dion. take the time to read it before you claim to know the story.
Oh please. Hey Kate, can I post without reading it? I got through page one but even that was tough. TWELVE pages and over 200 comments in the G&M is just too much time on Mr. Dion for a Monday morning around here. I’ll try to get back to it but I gotta say, the opening paragraphs about Stephan always being the king on Epiphany, did not do much to peak my interest.
“I am still perplexed as to how so many Canadian voters actualy believe the B*** S*** that the Leiberals spew. Like when cretien got caught lying about his imaginary friend; MSM believed this “compilation person” story and nothing else was said of it.”
At one time the Sun editors got together on a fun project that resulted in a Sunday edition article that listed the more fanciful Chretien “stories” and gaffes. I was amazed at how may there were…and some were real howlers like the lies he told to school kids about his childhood as a poor kid living in “da woods” which was pure fiction…and the time he said he talked to patrons of a certain bar he frequented but no one there ever saw him in the place….man, the list was lengthy…there were over 50 incidents when Chretien had spun media anitdotes that proved patently fraudulent….this pattern reveals not an active imagination but a pathalogical liar….but nothing was made of it in the lib-friendly MSM.
Jeez, went to G&M link — print friendly version is, gasp, 12 pages. T-W-E-L-V-E pages.
Having a good chuckle here this morning remembering a piece on Paul Martin in which a friend of his confessed to a little chortle when he read in a bio that Martin claimed that as a child he daydreamed of “going to sea”.
I’ll confess: I’m a bit scared. My business makes it totally unfeasible for me to leave Canada should this dork prevail.
Lamb to the slaughter…..just a question of majority vs minority slaughter….only the election will tell that one.
Dion needs a great election and Harper meltdown to win a majority. Harper only needs a decent election and Dion fumble or two for a majority…which do you think is more likely?
Harper’s government hasnt done anything wrong to deserve being removed….the question is those 5 extra seats in BC, those 15 in Ontario and those 5 in Quebec…how do you get them?
5 seats are coming in Ontario for sure…I cant explain what happened in BC…someone from there can elighten…..Quebec…its a crapshoot. Could get more seats in Ontario if the Greens bleed from Libs and NDP. Could split it enough to get more CPC seats…..
Interesting 12 months while all sides figure out whats what…..maybe a fall election.
Dion….if he lasts that long….
Dion’s backroom boys Know that they are in a catch 22
The liberals can’t take a chance with an election at this time, as they need buy some time to get more exposure for dion & more time for him to learn to communicate better to english speaking canadians, the liberal convention caught them off guard he was not supposed to win.
They also know that they have a fine time line as more & more Canadians are taking a liking to PM Harpers straight forwardness, He is not the evil person that they tried to percive he was.
National newswatch: Jan.22/07
Harper to Dion, Bring it On
