Here is what is on the calendar:
Gilles Duceppe is rolling out his Quebec City BQ candidates just in case at 10 at Hotel Pur, Salle J, 395, rue de la Couronne in Quebec City. Across town earlier that morning, say around 8 30, Justin Trudeau will be at Cegep de Ste-Foy's Place Publique talking to students at the school.
In Ontario our Premier, Dalton McGuinty, will be in Earlton, Ontario [I dunno where that is either; MapQuest it] helping to open International Ploughing Match.
But the highlight of the day will be in New Brunswick, Woodstock is the town, where the arraignment for Larry Beaton, who has been charged with smuggling over $100,000 of illegal menopause treatment cream into Canada will be going down.
I will in the front row for those proceedings wearing my grey sombrero.

480..."We Take Pride..."
"...investing in Pride".
So said the Premier of Ontario, Dalton McGuinty yesterday in Windsor.
The Toronto Star report says that Queen's Park is proud of its $300,000 contribution to Toronto Pride Week - in sharp contrast to the consternation in Ottawa over a $397,500 federal donation to the popular gay and lesbian festival. The Premier was quoted as saying "I can't speak for my colleagues in Ottawa, whatever their political stripe, but I can say that we take pride in investing in Pride. It's one of the single largest tourism draws to benefit our province, it generates millions and millions of dollars, it awakens more and more of the world to the fact that we have a tolerant, accepting society here in Ontario and here in Canada."
The province understands that festivals such as Pride inject tons of money into the GTA and are a win win for all concerned.
Would someone please alert Stephen Harper to this fact.

374...Sex And The Governor
I was reading Columbia, South Carolina's paper of record, The State, http://www.thestate.com/, just to find out what Steve Spurrier was doing when this story jumped out.
OMG.
The Governor of the Palmetto State, Mark Stanford, was away without leave for an entire week and it turns out he was in Buenos Aires, Argentina chilling with Maria, his girlfriend. A girlfriend his wife, four kids and the state he purports to lead, were unaware of.
As a sidebar, when he was a Congressman he voted in favour of impeaching President Bill Clinton, citing the need for "moral legitimacy".
Do as I say, not as I do.
Amazing story, can you see Stephen Harper, Dalton McGuinty or Jean Charest vanishing for a week to visit a girly girl in a far away land?
It may be wrong but it sure is interesting.

344...Good News For Ontario
The Conservative Party of Ontario is picking a new leader and the good news is that that leader is going to be soooooooooooo far to the right of Premier Dalton McGuinty, so far, so very very very far that he or she will be the leader of the opposition for ever and a day.
The candidates are all Mike Harrisian but my personal favourite is Randy Hillier, former head of the Ontario Landowners Association "This land is our land. Back off government". Mr. Hillier has called for the abolition of Ontario's human rights apparatus, among other things.
It is not a new day in Ontario.
LOL.
At least not for the Tories.

317...Dalton Does Right Again
I saw this live on CTVNewsThingy and now The Canadian Press has it, Premier Dalton McGuinty says from now on, the government and all its agencies will no longer allow sole-sourced contracts for consulting services.
That is the good news.
But.
The bad news is, in addition, under new rules consultants will not be allowed to bill extra for hospitality, incidental and food expenses.
As someone who has made much of his way through life by urban foraging, I have to say the implication of less free food for moochers such as myself is not a happy thought but, greater good and all that.
