Eddie in Ottawa (Part Cluck, Cluck, Cluck)

If Eddie Francis should be beaten on Monday's election, even with Gord's endorsement, will he still go to Ottawa? I know that is a silly question to ask because everyone expects David Wonham to lose badly to the mighty E-machine. Just like Eddie and DRTP's Marge Byington thought Kwame would lose in Detroit.

Now that Eddie knows that Dan Stamper is going to testify, whom will Eddie take with him for moral support---Norma Coleman, Helga Reidel, David Estrin, all of the above. Well he actually won't need anyone now. Here's the new revised schedule:

   AGENDA
   
   Bill C-3, An Act respecting international bridges and tunnels and making a consequential amendment to another Act.
   
   
   WITNESS:
   
   Canadian Transit Company:
   Dan Stamper, President
   
   

That's right, Eddie will testify on the 22nd and Dan Stamper will testify on the 28th. Not only will we not be able to compare them and what they say on the same day, now Eddie will not have to talk to Dan on the airplane down or back or have a coffee in the Toronto terminal while they are switching planes.

I understand that the meeting had been postponed to the 28th at first but somehow Eddie was allowed to speak on the 22nd.

I know. It must be due to a low-priced, advanced purchase, non-refundable air plane ticket....always thinking of taxpayer expense, our Mayor! I sure hope he is Mayor on the 22nd. What an embarrassment otherwise.

Eddie skipped out on one event with his opponents after asking them to reschedule, skipped out on a CBC debate and now he won't have Dan Stamper to deal with. And this is who is to represent our interests and fight for us?

Oh, I am sure he is no chicken. Why, he's a growler ROOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR
