Doing The Heavy Lifting

I sure hope that Canwest doesn't go belly up, because the nation suffers if Janke doesn't have a forum to delve into the BIG questions that matter. The latest contribution tackles the most obscure and irrelevant subject matter one can fathom, but provides such manufactured elevation, it leaves the reader with BURNING questions. I don't have the answers, but let's hope somebody in the media is brave enough to address the elephant in the room:

Is Ignatieff going to have something to say about Turner's recent and upcoming appearances with the Halton Liberals? Is someone going to ask Ignatieff to comment on Turner's book, given that some federal Liberals are using the book as a fundraising tool? Has anyone in the Liberal Party read an advance copy? Is Ignatieff comfortable with the Halton Liberals leaning so heavily on Turner, instead of promoting a new candidate, especially given Turner's well-documented infatuation with former Liberal leader Stephane Dion and the ill-fated Green Shift carbon tax? Is Michael Ignatieff going to say anything to signal that he wants the Halton Liberals to move past Garth Turner?

Or am I going in the wrong direction here?

But it gets better. By way of rumour, I hear that Turner will be emerging from his survivalist bunker to make a return visit to the Ivy Arms in Milton this Wednesday night. That's right. The same day Ignatieff is addressing the Oakville Chamber of Commerce, assuming this rumour is accurate.

Are the Liberals coordinating these appearances in order to launch more than Garth Turner's book? A return of the Garth himself?

Or is this shaping up to be a clash?

This could be a very interesting Wednesday.

Interesting indeed Steve, interesting indeed. Man, that's compelling.

On the job, so the rest of us can sleep easy.
