surprise

I saw Dion on "One On One" last night, the extended interview show Peter Mansbridge hosts. This guy is really growing on me. He's very smart, and seems like a person of integrity. I like his ideas. What a Liberal government will do, of course, is another question, but as far as what Dion says, I can't find much to complain about.

Meanwhile, Jack Layton's agreement that a party leader should not have dual citizenship really turned me off. I don't worry about what a Neanderthal like Ezra Levant thinks. (France is going to unduly influence the decision of a man who was born in Canada and lived here all his life? The first Prime Minister of Canada wasn't born in Canada, for godsake.) But Layton! He should know better.

If an election was held tomorrow - and if I were eligible to vote! - I'd have a hard time pulling the lever for the NDP. This is a surprise to me.
