A couple of years ago CBC broadcast the Lang O'Leary Exchange on their regular channel.  I tuned in one day about the time of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami.  Lang said something about all the damage in Japan, and O'Leary replied that all the repair work would be good for the Japanese economy.

Some of you will recognize the economic stupidity of Mr. O'Leary's comment, but I suspect that most of you will not and continue to think that he knows what he is talking about.  Unfortunately, Ms. Wente is right that we may get O'Leary as PM.

In a democracy, we get the government that other people deserve.
