Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

it is covoiturage.

you right wing people need to stop making fun of Dion because he is not an native English speaker.
Hey, dat’s not fair, it’s not izzy to eat da hot dog with da knife and da fork while driving in dis car pool ting…..Borat Dion.
What is dis chevy and bikini dings? Doos ‘arper have dem?
Once, some reporters needing a story badgered Trudeau to give them a Gainsburger.
His puzzled response was “What’s a Gainsburger?”
The Trudopian spirit shines on in Dion.
No bread ? Let them eat cake !
Give him a break. No one has figured out how to tax a carpool yet, so of course he has never heard of one.
I think Dion just needs to rest up a little with his Paris social set and learn to relax before as well as during the election campaign. A few more terms as leader of the opposition will give him a better handle on faking the common touch.
There was a glimpse on the French channel of his campaign aircraft. It appears to be an older Boeing 737 with the small engines that pollute real good. ??
That would the one Sgt. Steve Janke did the numbers up on Mr Carbon Tax’s footprint with that 25 year old 737-200.
About 40% more fuel used per hour than the CPC and NDP jets.
The Greens plan to walk/bicycle every where.
The Bloc…….. uhh who cares.
I look forward to this campaign purely for the entertainment value.
I suspect it will be an ironic parody of the Monte Python election night skit…
Sensible Party vs Slightly Silly Party vs Silly Party vs Very Silly Party.
The debates should be a stand up routine with a straight man setting up 3 comics spewing joke science, joke conspiracy, joke economics and hitting each other with rubber Hezbollah flags, while screeching “Baka laka daka dirka dirka Bako-la” to see who can capture the silliest vote.
I wonder how many liberals wish that the hot dog Dion ate with a knife and fork was a Maple Leaf hot dog?
A Conservative majority in Canada and a real conservative as VP of the USA – is this really possible and where will all the disgruntled lefties move to? France, Germany and Italy are sorta conservative and Cameron is way ahead in the UK. Are we at the start of another Conservative movement?
Good one Joe,anyway Dion does know yogurt is as in his devastating thrust at the Conservative party “yogurt has more culture than you”!!! You go green-garcon.
Cheers Bubba
AQN:
How often have English politicians been pilloried in Quebec for their stilted, halting French? The Quebec press didn’t rake Bob Stanfield, Joe Clark, or John Crosbie over the coals for their lack of fluent French? Please.
We have a saying in English: “What’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander”. We gave Chretien a pass because of his birth defect, but Dion has no such excuse. If the Quebecois think that every prime minister should be a fluent French speaker, then the 80% of people in this country who speak English before they speak French have every right to demand a prime minister who doesn’t make them cringe every time he opens his mouth. I can’t imagine the response of the American press if Dion were PM, and made his first trip to Washington. He’d be a laughingstock. I’ve heard Sarkozy speak in English, and he speaks better than Dion, so being French is no excuse.
“you right wing people need to stop making fun of Dion because he is not an native English speaker.”
English is an official language, spoken by the majority of Canadians. If Dion can’t even communicate effectively with a people how can he possibly hope to lead them?
Cars and bikinis? Yeah maybe something like a Gene Simmons bikini car wash might save his sagging popularity (as long as he doesn’t wear the bikini), but I can’t think of much else that will.
Hopefully he’ll at least remember to wear his fox hat to Vancouver…

“”””I’ve heard Sarkozy speak in English, and he speaks better than Dion, so being French is no excuse. “”””
many hungarians speak good english, even those stuck in france:-))))
and my dutch reletives who come to canada for visits speak better anglish then DeYawn, he has NO excuse, as Canada is predominitly english, and english is recognized as the international Bus. language and spoken fluently in many countries by their populance
“you right wing people need to stop making fun of Dion because he is not an native English speaker.”
…but it’s OK to denigrate Stock Day for his Christian faith??…pffftt…LOL there never was a partisan Librano apologist who didn’t come genetically equipped with situational ethics and equivalence dyslexia.
Even when dijon speaks French he sounds like a little insignificant pooch from across the pond, with that effeminate lilt in his voice that he forces believing it makes him sound oh so much more international and worldly than the rest of us…gag.
that effeminate lilt in his voice
Yeah, that bothers me about Sarah Palin, too.
putz
Oh, Meow! heheh!
Someone got out on the wrong side of their gender confusion bed today, eh?
okay I will give SD a pass on car pooling – maybe he was environment minister after all you would think that car pooling came up as a topic of conversation in some of ministerial/policy briefings (or were all of those meetings conducted in French? Hmmm).
But if SD did indeed eat a hot dog – bun and all – with a knife and fork then his is not fit to govern this country. I am not kidding. Such an extreme disconnect from Canadian society both French and English speaking demonstrates more succinctly than anything else I can think of that this guy is part of a societal elite that due to its lack of linkage to the vast majority of cdns means that they cannot be trusted to properly represent the interests of canadians.
2. I notice that AQS is now calling himself AQN. Welcome to Canada AQN!! As you well know the hoc has unanimously recognized your status within Canada.
heh heh, Gord, guess he finally woke up to how stupid a comment from a “QC separatist” is with the American chant ‘Bring our troops home’, eh?
I hadn’t heard about this hot dog thing until today, but as an ex-Montrealer, I can say the only question about hot dogs is whether you prefer “steamies” or “toastees” (steamed or grilled). They are usually served with a finely chopped sweet coleslaw on the bun, which is something I rarely find in Toronto. They are often ordered 2, 3, or 4 at a time (particularly late on Friday or Saturday nights), and they are *ALWAYS* eaten out of hand – French, English, Christian, Jew, young, or old. Does anyone have video of this? I think I’d nearly die laughing.
“Borat Dion”
Hey, quit dissin Borat like that, ya bastards!
