Dion's coming out speech here.

The prime minister, in spite of being severely ill this week, managed to get his basic message out in a short but inclusive, patriotic speech. M. Dion was to follow up with a statement in response. He couldn't do it, literally, despite feeble attempts with what appeared to be a cell phone camera.

THe choice for the Governor General can not be more clear. M. Dion is not capable of running any government, much less one having to stick handle its way through monumental global financial issues. Canadians made the right choice in the last election; they know it, and the opposition parties and the supporters of the Bloc should too.

The Liberal Party in its current iteration is done in Canada, and the NDP, through the duplicity of its leader, has demonstrated that its not worthy of Canada's highest office. Woe be to the country who hands it most treasured possession, its governance, to this rag-tag bunch of ghoulish self-serving fools.
