1. Yes and Canada is getting ready

to guard against US... that border is going to get
reinforced...

THANKS BUSH.

[Armstead]

2. Doesn't even say "aboot"?

[HEyHEY]

3. AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BlueEyedSon]

7. Thanks, I thought so.... LOL!

[Swede]

4. Eh?

[La_Serpiente]

5. Wow

he speaks both French and English.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

6. Apparently French-Canadians think he's French, and we think he's Anglo

How's that for accentless?

[Holly]

8. Martin ,a real Canadian

we know he's anglo, and he's is a Quebec MP . Understanding what the PM is saying, no guessing involved, what a change. Not as funny though.

[HEyHEY]

9. that sneaky bugger

[La_Serpiente]

10. Oh my goodness

He is crying. How human :-)

[glarius]

11. He just teared up when asked about the flag he carried to his swearing in

ceremonies....It was flying on Parliament Hill the day his father (a former Liberal minister) died....Someone asked him about it and he got very emotional....I'm keeping my fingers crossed....I like what I hear from him so far....Time will tell...:)

[Spazito]

13. His love for his father will never let him go too far right...

He adored his father, that is obvious, and with his dad being very liberal on social policy, this relieves alot of my worries for sure!

[Holly]

16. I've never worried

Martin won't stay far from his father's vision....good days ahead

[glarius]

24. I agree with you and Spazito......He's a business man yes, but with a

heart and social conscience I believe....Remember he asked Bono to come to his acceptance speech ceremony and committed us to some serious stuff then.....Here's hoping!!!!!!

[glarius]

12. What channel are you Americans watching this on?

:)

[BlueEyedSon]

14. CSPAN1, looks like a live feeed from "newsworld"

[La_Serpiente]

15. Here

live stream

Live Stream

Real Player needed

[glarius]

21. Thanks.....I'm watching it in Canada from Newsworld....

I was just wondering where you were getting it...
:)

[Loonman]

17. Does he know the words to "take off"?

Take off, to the Great White North, take off, it's a beauty way to go!!

[Holly]

18. sure

and in both official languages, eh!

[RBHam]

19. Martin knows how to play the game

His only challenge is keeping his left wing base happy. He did alot of slashin' and cuttin' while finance minister. Balanced the budget, though. But we still have our medicare.

[glarius]

22. I'm hoping his devotion to his late father who was a very liberal

person, will mean that he intends to do what is necessary to shore up medicare, which needs some help....I think he will....Hope so!!!

[Holly]

20. Great to have a woman Deputy PM

and Anne's squeaky voice will make up an accentless PM. She sure can screech when she get mad.

[Spazito]

23. ROFL!

Tooo true re Anne's voice.

[TrogL]

25. He's got an accent

But you have to listen closely for it. It's not as obvious as Jean's.

[glarius]

26. Actually he's not French....English is his first language

He moved from Windsor, Ontario as a child, to Ottawa, when his father became an M.P....:)
