My regret

Last spring, Stephane Dion came to Laurier Brantford to give a brief speech to a gathering of students and staff. This speech was followed by a Q+A period. This being a school without any real political science program to speak of, most of the questions asked of the Liberal leader were about the environment, the minimum wage, tutition costs - things that the average non-political student would care about.

My one regret is that I had, but chose not to take advantage of, the chance to ask Stephane Dion how easy he thinks it is to make priorities.

Leaders set priorities. Leaders get things done. Stephane Dion is not a leader.

Q: is this a valid argument? ;)

Ryan Flanagan said...

By itself, no. Coupled with the video clips insinuating that Stephane Dion could neither set priorities nor get things done, yes. We were never taught that arguments are invalid if they harness multimedia capabilities. ;)

Incidentally, where were you guys on Friday?

We were there and then you left without us! We didn't sit with you because I didn't see you right away, but I assumed you saw us, because we came in late (as usual)- with Yao in tow, which could have thrown you off. I love that I'm using this as a communication tool. Are you going to stay in Brantford at all over reading week? Feel free to reply by other means. :)
