Apparently he has "shifted™ " to right wing.

Posted by: Rob at October 3, 2008 6:30 PM

Poor Steffy...this makes Robert Stanfield look positively athletic. It appears he's trying to shoot with one too many hockey sticks on his person.

Is he wearing Lulu Lemons?

Posted by: A. Cooper at October 3, 2008 6:38 PM

Hmmmm.....interesting to see that the G&M has the comments closed. Not surprising given the comments that were likely to appear within that Liberal rag.

Posted by: John Luft at October 3, 2008 6:40 PM

He reminds me of the guy that always gets picked last in the neighborhood road hockey games.

Posted by: gobidesert at October 3, 2008 6:50 PM

Harper is a hockey fan; he's even writing a book on it. Now we have Dion copying that interest - an interest that he's never shown, ever, in his life?

Oh, and he's wearing a sweater. Will the MSM press mock Dion for his sweater?

It's getting tiresome. What we need in our PM is a leader. Whether he wears a sweater or pats his dog is totally irrelevant. Harper is a leader; and, someone with principles and integrity. That's what we need and we are lucky to have him.

It's not izzy to score with these tights irritating my hemorrhoids.

Reminds me of my long-departed Grandmother. Being a good child of Scottish parents and a better Presbyterian, she wouldn't say s##t if her mouth was full of it. The only time I ever heard her utter a swear word was when The Habs were playing The Leafs.( With Foster Hewitt as commentator).
Always called them "Those Damn Frogs".

Posted by: Malcolm Cross at October 3, 2008 7:00 PM

Like I need another reason to hate the Habs.

As a Habs fan since the sixties this is embarrasing. Look at him... how he's holding the stick, the leg and footwork.(when he goes to a hockey game and orders a hotdog, does he ask for a fork and knife?) Has there ever been such a girly man run for any high office? And you know there's a handfull of usefull idiots behind him oohing and aahing and pleasantly clapping.

Posted by: Boots at October 3, 2008 7:14 PM

hmmmph....and I thought he was lecturing and demonstrating the hockey stick 'spike' in global warming....or cooling...or whatever it is this decade.

Posted by: steffie at October 3, 2008 7:17 PM

Cross - That's because the Habs rarely lost to the Laughs - I mean Leafs. I am really conflicted here. I love the Habs but vote for Harper who loves the Leafs. I tolerate that because the Leafs are probably comic relief for the the PM. I don't, however, like the idea that Borat Dion cheers for the same team as me. I guess that sometimes you have to put a little water in your wine.

Posted by: a different bob at October 3, 2008 7:18 PM

Doesn't appear like he's deft at handling a hockey stick either.

What's he trying to do?
Push at something ... strongly?

Is that exertion on his face?
Looks a bit pasty again today...tan in a can wears off fast eh?


Posted by: ldd at October 3, 2008 7:18 PM

Wonder if that is the hockey stick he will use to justify the Green Shaft or did he forget it was suppose to be a graph

Posted by: dkjones at October 3, 2008 7:27 PM

Could be worse . . . he could be a Leaf's.

Posted by: Fred at October 3, 2008 7:30 PM

That photo won't play well in Toronto or Ottawa.

Posted by: RW at October 3, 2008 7:38 PM

He reminds me of the ape man who picks up the leg bone and scratchs his head in the 2001:Space Oddesey movie...at least the ape knew what to do with it!

Posted by: simon at October 3, 2008 7:41 PM

looks like emitting green house gas, definately not a carbon credit.

Posted by: fred at October 3, 2008 7:52 PM

Dijon has just done to the sport of hockey what he did to the art of eating a hot dog. At least we are spared the sight of Mr Green Shaft on bob skates.

Posted by: Soccermom at October 3, 2008 8:11 PM

Oh, dear, us Oilers fans will definitely not be voting for this guy. (As if we were going to anyways) Very bad move with the hockey crowd. Harper has been much more cautious about revealing which team he likes most.

Tories in Quebec have slipped well behind the Bloc Quebecois, a new Ipsos Reid poll shows. Since last week, the Bloc has surged eight per cent to 40 per cent in support among decided voters, while the Conservatives have fallen six points to third place, at 18 per cent. The Grits have leapfrogged the Tories to sit at 24 per cent in Quebec

The Conservatives appear to have underestimated the connection between the arts and Quebecers' sense of culture, said Darrell Bricker, CEO of Ipsos Public Affairs.
Last week, a group of Quebec musicians led by folksinger Michel Rivard launched a video parody that portrays the Conservatives as moralistic bumblers who don't understand French. One version has been viewed more than half a million times on YouTube. [ http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=tFbbwEtrsa8 ]
"In English Canada, there's a certain constituency for that type of argument," he said of the funding cuts. "Whereas in Quebec, it's all about defending the culture, so when you say that, it has a huge impact."

"The soft nationalists are going back to the Bloc, and the strong federalists are going back to the Liberals."

I think we could have a daily or weekly photo of Dion and have a caption contest.

The last one was funny.

But he might only be news for another couple of weeks, then this photo will be irrelevant.

My two fave teams are the Hawks and whoever is playing the Habs

Posted by: jeff k at October 3, 2008 8:30 PM

Is your Titan ready for launch or are you just happy to see me Stefan?

Posted by: Celine Dion at October 3, 2008 8:36 PM

Did he shoot or let a heater pass by? He's got lousy road hockey form, and if anyone knows ,it's me.

Dion is sweaterman... well, he's a m... he's wearing a sweater.

Posted by: anon at October 3, 2008 9:29 PM

He was probably coached by his campaign team on how to how to hold the stick.

Posted by: Woodporter at October 3, 2008 9:34 PM

All harper has to do to win toronto ridings now is show up in a leafs jersey....

Posted by: John at October 3, 2008 9:41 PM

Guess this is what Dion meant in the debate when he said..."Lets make Canada FUN again?"

I'm guessing his stance is the result of a wedgie he was given by a couple of 4th graders who stephie was trying to hang out with and didn't appreciate his photo op interfering with their street hockey game. fortunately his handlers removed the "Hanes-Her-Way" waistband from his forehead moments before the picture was taken.

Posted by: bdogginit at October 3, 2008 11:14 PM

I'm wondering if a faceplant followed this pose.

And I thought Chretien was embarrassing, could you imagine this goober representing Canada on the international stage.

Posted by: My Username Sux at October 3, 2008 11:27 PM

Anyone catch the clip on Mike Duffy Live where dorky Dion takes at least 10 shots at the goalie before scoring.
Best laugh I've had for a couple of days.

Pfft. Unless he tracked, hunted, and shot the hot dog himself, I'm unimpressed. ;)

Either he is passing gas or shit himself......maybe both

Posted by: notasocialist at October 4, 2008 1:24 AM

I think that there is something more going on here. Last night at the debate Dion was sitting at a toilet seat shaped table and now he shows up in a sweater with a toilet seat on the front. I think he is trying to tell us that his political career is going down the drain.

Posted by: kmn at October 4, 2008 1:47 AM

This is proof of a proof that the proof is that there is proof that Ailine Cretien was a f...ing idiot when she told her idiot husband that dese guy on television, this Stephan guy is the guy you need for a cabinet cleaner. The idiot Cretien thought sh said a cabinet minister and hired Steffi on the spot, well here is da proof that 1 idiot plus 1 idiot can find a third idiot quite easily. If this clown manages to become prime minister, western separation will be swift, and remember Toronto and Quebec you recieve 50 billion a year in the east right out of the Alberta OILsands and energy sector.

Posted by: bartinsky at October 4, 2008 1:48 AM

Is that the Global Warming hockey stick? Is that stick styrofoam or plastic? Deyawn would cry if a tree died to make for himself a stick that looks like hockey ..or hooky...do they know what hockey is back in Paris (Deyawn's homeland)?
