"Entrepreneurial", as in "Entrepreneurial Federation of Saskatchewan".
So far, so good.
Now, if you were looking to bring in a keynote speaker for your entrepreneurial federation's AGM and business luncheon, whose names might pop into your head?
Actually, let's narrow this down. Whose would be the last name to pop into your head?
Put your guess in the comments, before looking at the answer here. Your only hint - it's a well-known Canadian.
Now, don't go blabbing the answer in the comments. Gag, mock and constern all you wish, but no hints! I want to see if anyone guesses it.
my guess, lorne calvert.
Kate, come on really. You must be making that up.
I refuse to believe it.
Well it's better than the guy they got last year, Rick Mercer, who has done more to keep Liberals in power than almost anyone. I guessed Lorne...what's that guy's last name, the former premier of Sask?
Whoever invited the actual guy shouldn't JUST be fired...
lloyd axworthy ?
Kiefer Sutherland?
Ray Romanow?
Suppose that is one way to get him to break his lip-lock on the public teat for a few hours.
He/She is truly the last person that would've popped in there, my head that is.
OMG - almost anyone, except maybe.....
David Suzuki?
Stephen Lewis?
Justin Trudeau ?
It has to be Iggy
Stephen Lewis?
Shirley Douglas??
The Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy invited that nitwit to "chair a town hall meeting" at the AGM. A surprising number of people who should have known better supported the idea, and to make matters worse, they did it all over again the very next year. The whole thing turned into a CBC love-in. I have no idea what happened the third year - I simply stopped paying my dues, and went elsewhere for my professional membership.
Sid Ryan?
Shirley Douglas??
It can't be William Shatner--he's from Montreal, and a different "Federation". So my guess is David Suzuki.
Warnout Katsmellya?
Fast Eddy Broadbent?
That lady who used to be head of the federal NDPs who looked like some lady in my grandmother's quilting circle?
Ok, I'm looking now.
Nope. I would have never guessed that. They're mental.
OMG I just checked and what were they thinking.
Unbelievable is all I can say.
Barney Frank? It is after all his birthday.
Barf!!!
And this person was chosen because...?
Hey Fred - you should realize that he doesn't come out and do these things out of the goodness of his heart - there is a pretty substantial fee attached .
I would've gone with Trudeau, but they probably don't want to exhume him just for this...how 'bout Peter Lougheed then?
For those who peeked: What exactly is the difference between "Canada" and "Canadians"? Such muddleheaded thinking is typical of those in this person's line of work.
You guys were missing the obvious ones... Lingenfelter or Dion.
Gonna have to go with Dion here.
:)
I'm guessing Suzuki
I rescind my Suzuki guess, because hinters here have said it's so improbable as to be unbelievable. And while Suzuki would be a moronic choice, it's not outside the realm of possibility that he'd be invited as a famous face etc. So my new guess is Ed Broadbent or Morgenthaler.
avi lewis
YOU have got to be kidding...
This guy knows about as much about being an entreprenuer as the Big Obama does about changing a tire or running Government Motors...
LOL. Talk about under the Radar. (And no, that's not a hint.)
Taliban Jack.
I'm guessing the Shamwow Guy....if he is out of jail.
my guess Roy Romanow
that is worse then Romanow. at least Romanow had to win an election or two.
David Suzuki
Jack Layton would be dead last on my list of invitations. Any member of the NDP would also be on that list.
Yeah, I'm sure he is a socialist.
Havent looked, havent looked, havent looked .... I am guessing a business person who has turned 10 million into 1 million, or something along those lines. Someone who has had a major business failure.
The head of the cbc, whoever that is? Or do they rule by politburo? The head of Air America? No idea the name.
Kim Jong Il?
maude barlow ?
Buzz Hardgrov just steped down from the CAU. Could it be him?
Elizabeth May, with a special gust appearance by Jack Layton.
Svend Robinson? Now I'll go have a look at the answer ...
And that my friends is what makes us all ashamed to be Canadian.
Suzuki
The Peekin News from here say,
Mao Stlong.
my guess would be Jack Layton... and now to see if I'm correct.
My guess is Paul Martin and his CSL steamship lines which he essentially bought using his family connections.
Heather Mallick?
