So one year after Stevie boy dismisses the arts and essentially calls galas a gathering of artsy-fartsy fifi-foofoos where government funding is wasted... (okay, those weren't his exact words, but that's what he essentially meant, and down went his rating in Quebec which is pretty much the centre of arts and culture of Canada...)... we see Stevie jamming a Beatles tune and holding up pretty well with the Yo-yo Ma in a black tie gathering of artsy-fartsy fifi-foofoo gala organized by his wife.
Nice publicity move! For one shining moment, as he basked in the standing ovation onstage, he actually looked human! ^_^.
Well, he's definitely wracking points there and giving Iggy a run for his money in the popularity scale. It was a nice symbolic gesture to finally act as the opposition and try to bring down the Conservative government... but man! Iggy sure has horrible timing. It's really annoying! Somehow, coming around to do this after helping to prop up Stevie for the past 3 years doesn't sound efficient... or sincere.
The Bloc didn't even support him in the non-confidence vote... THE BLOC!
In one way, I'm actually getting part of my wish. We see the Tories, the NDP and the Bloc finally sitting down and working together to make our government work. You know, finally agreeing on which direction their proverbial carpool should go instead of arguing and backseat driving.
Except Iggy of course... I feel sad for my party. Really Iggy! Get your act together and stop acting like a barking dog chasing its tail.
