When I was in Winnipeg in early August, I dropped by the studio at CKNW CJOB to spent a few minutes with Charles Adler. The segment (with the Globe and Mail’s Dan Cook) concerned Quebec’s status as a special needs recipient under provincial equalization.
Charles offered that when we in the West criticize the arrangement, we get accused of “Quebec bashing”.
To which I replied, “So what?”.

Thanks all for your patience.

“It’s almost as if he is repeating Donolo’s private conversation with him: “Look Mike, you’ve got to get out there and shake every hand, kiss every baby, put everything you’ve got into this – or we’re dead.”
Except he screwed up the last part.”

The “sheeple” respond. More from today’s pithy comments file – “Michael,your eight seconds were up a long time ago.”

Michael Ignatieff says…
