Obviously, more funding required for the Arts in Quebec. Maybe they could then afford to hire a decent cameraman.

Say, does Bombardier make webcams?

Honestly, I could only stomach about 30 seconds of that twit. My left **** has more leadership qualities.

I don't think anyone can polish that big a pile of crap into something palatable. Poor camera guy didn't have much to work with.

I don't like Dion so take this with a grain of salt, but I'm actually getting mad I can't see his supposedly critical speech for the future of my country on either CTV's nor CBC's website because he was so late getting it to them.

Yes, that's an example of his incompetence and ineffectiveness so I should be relieved at that. But I'm also choked.

What a loser.

I've seen better cinematoghraphy in an opening sequence of a 'Wayne's World' sketch.

Does this guy personify dork or what?

Cut him some slack, he probably didn't factor in he need for three or four takes for his own speech.

loved how Steffi said he would provide immediate "economic stimulus" by funding transit exapnsions in Vancouver etc.

Somebody better 'spain to Steffi and urban transit expansion plans take at least 3 years, usually 5 to get all the political and environmental hoops jumped.

Some immediate.

Kinda like his immediate response to PMSH's Tv address

LIB MP denounces coalition

http://westernstandard.blogs.com/shotgun/2008/12/first-liberal-p.html

Everytime I see Dion
even though I hardly understand a word he says
I can't help imagining him
as a women's lingerie salesman in the local mall:

"Dis nightie will fit you perfectly!"

"loved how Steffi said he would provide immediate "economic stimulus" by funding transit exapnsions in Vancouver etc."

He probably means subsidizing cab rides to stimulate the economy NOW!

6.2% unemployment? 0.2% of mortgages 3 months in arrears -- a record low?

We must ACT!!!! What's more -- carbon tax ineffective leftist election loser Dion, former communist into his 30s and separatist Duceppe, and communist in all bit name Mr. Mustache -- must act.

Don't be so hard on Dion.He had to do 3 takes because he once again did not understand the question.It's a hearing problem caused by being of the elite and not being able to describe why he has his head up his arse.It's a PHD thing.

I am sorry Kate but for the first time you and Kinsella are saying almost the same thing. The only difference, he is asking for someone to be fired.

In addition to a "English only hearing disorder"tm,

he also has a "difficulty making a simple video in both languages" condition, mixed with bouts of "time unawareness" syndrome.

First Liberal bails....

Frank Valeriote does not favour a coalition government and instead hopes Prime Minister Stephen Harper can work toward rescuing the Canadian economy.

“I believe in working toward a solution, not working toward a coalition,” Guelph’s Liberal MP said Wednesday.

Any sane Liberal, who appreciates the legacy of his or her party (as much as I don't), would vote against this coalition in a flash based on nothing more than Dion's fornication with the Bloc.

Breaking:

Stephane Dion....."We're not used to being in opposition."

Bawahahahahahahaha!!!!

Syncro

Breaking:

Stephane Dion to Gilles Duceppe on the down elevator....."We're not used to being in opposition."

Bawahahahahahahaha!!!!

Syncro

oops.

syncro

Yeah, more or less explains Steffi's entire mindset, and the reason we're in this mess.

But I am leaving in a month. (unsaid) Can't I be PM for a little while? Isn't that like a participation medal? Oh right.

BTW, anyone else gag when Steffi came out with "My fellow Canadians?"

He still holds a French passport, non?

99% of the comments on the ctv article transcript of the speeches are anti-coalition - SWEET.

First we overthrow the government. Then we plan a plan to make a plan... or just steal the CPC plan.
You had this whole thing laid out? It,s what Canadians want right Mr. Dion.
Even CBC couldn,t see a way to spin this!

Sweet thing is disgusted by the quality of the tape. I guess the Libs really are broke. Did Cherniak borrow his mothers videocam?

And the Libs are trying to sell this guy as our Obama?????

> Did Cherniak borrow his mothers [sic] videocam?

ROFL. Nice one.

Oh man, I just saw that Dion video on Mike Duffy. The CTV guy with him said it looked like a kid shot it with a cell phone. And it was delivered late? OMG!

No wonder Harper isn't backing off. Dion looks like a frickin' PSYCHO in that tape. He's on the thin edge of cracking. Like a wine glass on a concrete floor.

The Liberals elected that pinhead as leader? Man oh man! I'm shaking my head here.

Hey GG! Election! BRING IT ON, BABY!!!

No... Stephie did it himself with his cellphone.

Hello Kate - you were just recommended by a Guest DJ on CBC Radio 3... congrats - all five of us listening will check it out ;)

"And the Libs are trying to sell this guy as our Obama"

I listened to the O during a presser today and between stumbles, ers, ums and long pauses, he's almost as unintelligible as Dion.

Youtube already, including one that's been "altered"

Normal

Altered

Did I hear Jean LaPierre correctly when he said the coalition couldn't run a one car funeral??

He absolutely skewered them!

Did anyone else notice the one book behind dion that you could notice was called HOT AIR.

and now the Communists endorse the coalition???.... this is a joke, right?

http://www.communist-party.ca/news/Statements/2008/Coalition.html

I've seen better production in a porno.

Did anyone else notice the one book behind dion that you could notice was called HOT AIR.

Dieyawn must have been studying for the coalition

"No... Stephie did it himself with his cellphone."

And the reason they were so late is they had to duct-tape it to a tripod.

I think Dion has the same camera guy as Osama bin Laden.....

Damn that was pathetic!

He should have used the camera operator that shot these clips

Posted by: The Rat at December 3, 2008 9:29 PM
Those video's where just too creepy. You ought to put an R rating on them. Don't want to scare the kiddies you know.
Its an appalling view of limpid wickedness, in the dress of Totalitarianism.
Not a pretty site.

Thanks, Rat, for the links to Dion's videos. I see the altered version is a multi-purpose one. He's also hawking his updated version of "Politics for Dummies", foreword by Jack Layton. He'll need the money after the next election.

Yeah, come to think of it, the production quality in that video did seem like there was a jihadist director involved.

Steve in 'stoon:

If bin Laden's handlers were involved with the taping of his address, then it appears that Dion has built a nice bookshelf in his cave.

I have 2 thoughts on this.

1. Bob Rae shot the video.

2. Michael Ignatieff delivered it.

Make that 3.

3. Great video response, take 10, was done on MSM view on what PMSH should say. Crew sent home. Damn...see 1&2.

I always thought that Layton looked like he appeared in cheezy porno videos with that 1970's stayin' alive moustache. After seeing Stefan Dion's "Blair Witch" ScareCam, I see they share the same production designer and wardrobe assistant.

Vote for a proven failure: Stefan Dion.

Great! The New Liberal Block believes in government stimulus to improve the economy!

So how about another $300 million in stimulus to see if the group of them can actually WIN an election if they want to govern?

Jeez, he looks like an evil alien sitting in his captain's chair in the spaceship telling us all to lay down and surrender.

An alien would be easier to understand, though.

Whoops, sorry, that's New Liberal Blockheads... I forgot to type their full name.

I see they managed to block out the Hot Air book in that clip.

Like we wouldn't notice...

CBC hid the clip, too, behind a broken link. I had to do some fancy guesswork to actually download it.

Is that the best of the 15 retakes they taped?

"Canadians don't want another election". Yeah, Borat, you have used that line before, but given the choice of you as our PM or another election, Canadians will go to the polls in droves. I suspect your next election smackdown will resonate with your soul for the rest of your snivelling, miserable life.

Canadians don't want you as PM. Do you need that translated?

"Jeez, he looks like an evil alien"

Ignatieff's Romulan Cloaking Device is starting to malfunction and the Liberals have no money left to arm the Plasma Torpedo. The only ploy left is to contact Desilu Studios and start to throw paper mache rocks at the Conservatives.

Signifigen........signifigenilty signifigfhgt aw crap lets do over

Actually due to the Liberal office budget retraints, they just fired their cameraman days ago and he took his Brownie with him.

Today they could only afford a little Kid Kam from Toys R US.

Actually it looks like a real Liberal piece of work.
Just like the economy would look like if they ever got into power.
Shudder.

He certainly sounds sincere doesn't he ? I especially like the phony little tremor in his voice as he spokened about signifikink um singificant er significant , yeah thats it ,improvements to quebecs and torontos stuff. Why did I keep thinking he was trying to eat an invisible hot dog , no hands , while making such a nice caring , heartfelt , phony speech to the very same people that told him to screw off 6 weeks ago? Can't wait for the next tantrum when he loses this one.

This dipstick telling us what we want and don't want. Just can't understand that we want a government that does't have to appease anybody on the other side of the House to continue governing for a full term.

I think Dion (or someone on his staff) realized he laid an egg with his video segment, and tried to minimize the damage by having fewer people view it by sending it late.

I think if anyone sane watched the Prime Minister speak and then watched amateur hour right after it, they would easily realize that Dion got his butt kicked.

I still believe the best thing that the Conservatives could do is bring on the budget. If these buttwads want to usurp power, let them fall on their ass!

Fife -- thrumming his tiny fingers -- says confidently, "I'm all in!"

Whoops.

CTV has a story on it now on his late tape fiasco now . liberal party apologises ...geezez these clowns couldn't organise a game of pin the tail on the jackass.

Thanks RAT
I've done my best translation of the French comments. Enjoy:

Looks like he learning how to use his new camera!

I'd like to view the the entire uncut version.
It's a monumental flop that embarrasses the country! We are lucky if it will be seen only at 10:30 pm.

Ahhhh please just show me the trimmed version, ouch! Miserable; (He's) still a loser!

What a micky mouse group!He should have worn a hat with feathers. Stephie's sure made history now!

I've never seen such an amature effort!

Do you have the entire tape?
I want to put it on my I-pod so I can laugh 100 times a day!!

As for Fife's blurb, here, he has a remarkable grasp ...of the obvious.

One question:

Was that shot in VHS or Beta? Was it a North American or Japanese Video Recorder? Is Stefan coming out with the audio version on 8 track tape in time for Christmas and Ed Broadbent's Gran Torino?

I hear Ed likes the Starsky and Hutch white racing stripe down the side when he goes cruisin' down Bloor Street with Huggy Bear in the passenger seat.

In answer to everyone's question. Dion thought the broadcast was on Newfoundland time.

"Dion thought the broadcast was on Newfoundland time"

Ever been to sea, Billy?

I've seen better production in a porno.
Posted by: Rick in MB at December 3, 2008 9:42 PM
That's because porn here gets Ontario Film and Television Tax Credits money. But not poor Steph.

I am glad that Robert Fife has finally found his brain and is using it!

"That's because porn"

There's too much boob in the Dion version.

Stefan Dion is to the Coalition what the Daisycutter was to the Taliban. That's why Jack is nowhere to be seen.

Doh! Misheard Fife's subject matter in my 11:43 comment.

Whoops indeed.

To steal from Jay Leno:

The Coalition isn't something you join, its something you end up in.

I really think Layton and Harper set this whole thing up at this point. They knew Dion would take the bait and destroy the Liberals in the process.

When Dion said "We're not used to being in opposition" what did he mean? I know he said it to Duceppe but I don't get it. Isn't he in opposition right now????

"I really think Layton and Harper set this whole thing up at this point."

I think Layton's going to rip off his rubber mask Mission Impossible style to reveal that he's Ben Mulroney and this has been a punked version of Canadian Idol.

Thank you Danny Williams, your contribution to this bull...t is immeasurable. In your mini dildo tirades against PMSH you turned a lot of idiots to vote against Steven, who are now realizing what idiots they were to listen to an idiot like you. Yes Danny this clown Dion is someone a Stupid Newfie like you can be proud of. And I like most Nefies I have worked with, it is you that all the stupid Newfie jokes have been written about Danny.

"Isn't he [Dion] in opposition right now?"

Not in Bizarro World where many lefties spend most of their awake time. After all, it's "unnatural" for them to be out of power, so there's a cognitive dissonance and occasional brain explosions, fits of uncontrolled emotion and psychological projection.

Yes, good old Danny Boy Williams.

Now there's a Useful Liberal Party Idiot if there ever was one.

Look at his great oil production timing.
Refused to deal when oil was $100/bbl and then signed on just in time for Newfoundlanders to get the full benefit of $50/bbl or less oil.

And this sick puppy global economy will probably take years to recover substantially.

Oh ye of the heavily biased right, spin it any way you want to, but when it comes right down to it, we have a Prime Minister who is a complete arse, a wanna be Prime Minister that is a bumbling fool, Jack Layton (nuff said) and a separatist weasel.

I don't know about the rest of you, but as a proud Canadian, I am feeling lower than a snake's belly in a wagon rut right now. Is this (our politicians) the best we have?

And you wonder why most educated politically neutral people like myself want so badly to tune this crap out. But I just can't.

I'm so disgusted I could puke.

Cheers!

Leto

Hey Leto . Harper is a good man, an honest man, a family man that has the best interests of the country in the forefront. Noticed any money stealing yet, proabably not, these people called conservatives are not the kind of theives you like in office, we had 13 years of that lately, quite enough. As for your education and your neutering, you could be a liberal.

Bartinsky: did a nasty old liberal hurt you once? Hmmmmmm?

Poor, poor boy. Indeed, tragic.

Thanks for the post. Just when I thought the bile couldn't rise any higher.

Cheers!

Leto

"Bartinsky: did a nasty old liberal hurt you once? Hmmmmmm?"

Actually 3 of them did - Trudeau, Cretien, and Martin.

dumb question

LOL! Stefane Dion is such a joke. He's an arrogant, know-it-all douche. If he were the guy Obama had to meet up with everytime he made some diplomatic trip to Canada, I'd barf.

"This isn't fair!" LOl! As bad as American politics is, I don't think I've ever seen a candidate say that in a debate here.
