More like amused, entertained. And dismayed by the outraged ones, particularly Fry and Minna, as you mentioned. I think reactions like Minna's and Fry's, while understandable, are playing into Harper's hands. I could well envision the scenario I outlined in the post playing out. And while I don't think Khan will have seen that end game coming, I think Steve will have.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14971310821484459106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-1155331188793256452006-08-11T17:19:00.001-04:002006-08-11T17:19:00.001-04:00Interview went well, I hope to have something up o...Interview went well, I hope to have something up over the weekend.<BR/><BR/>Anon 454, I did see the Kinsella post. I certaintly hope for that scenario, and Gerard could well be a kingmaker, but I wouldn't count Gerard out yet either, simply because of the strength of his organization.<BR/><BR/>I didn't ask that question of Stephane though just because, as interested as we and me all would be, I know there's no way he would answer beyond boilerplate, nor would any candidate at this point.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14971310821484459106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-1155329659795527142006-08-11T16:54:00.000-04:002006-08-11T16:54:00.000-04:00Kinsella said: Him (Ignatieff) and Dion for the fi...<I>Kinsella said: <BR/>Him (Ignatieff) and Dion for the finish.

If he picks Dion it will be because he wants to be the leaders after Dion (ie.

As renewable resources, both industries have suffered through poor management and also global issues -- pine beetle for one, warming oceans for the other.<BR/>What role can the gov't of Canada play in directing these industries to protect and strengthen the resources which seem to be labouring under their 'renewable' name?<BR/>-sidepoint on fisheries - where as the ocean fishery has seen serious declines over recent years, the farm fishery has stepped up to fill the gap, although its operations have been incredibly controversial (insert rafe mair rant here)... Should farm fisheries be removed from the ocean water and put in land-based ponds until a solution for the fecal and feed pollution and sea lice issues?<BR/>by the way, any comment on Bob Rae's statement on Canada's role on the international front yesterday?
