What are the chances Pariah Minister Harper will approach the future of Canada with the same clarity, sentiment and caring as Obama does in this weekly message to Americans? Harper has a chance to be relevant, resolved and significant when he meets with the First Ministers on January 16 in preparation for the Budget due on January 27.
I'd say the chances of him getting it, being forthright and showing genuine concerned about us and our country instead of his own politcial neck are between slim and none --- and slim just left town.
I am interested in pragmatic pluralist politics, citizen participation, protecting democracy and exploring a full range of public policy issues from an Albertan perspective.

Well, y'know, the content is ok, but manohman, if I were his media adviser, I would tell that man to SLOW DOWN. He is talking 'way too fast, and especially at the beginning he is smiling too much.
ReplyDeleteGravitas, kiddo! Gravitas. He's still not there.
Totally agree, while wishing it wasn't so!
ReplyDeleteObama is a great orator. But what substance does he have? N O T H I N G - let's hear it - N O T H I N G.
ReplyDeleteAnon...did you watch the video and if so how can you say there is no substance there? On specific actions, Obama is right, there is one President at a time and right now that is "W". Obama will have to wait until Jan 20th before he should engage on specifics.
ReplyDeleteSubstance is not the same as specific however.
