Frustrated Dion lashes out at CTV

OTTAWA - Stephane Dion couldn't hide his contempt for the CTV television network following his resounding election defeat Tuesday night.

The Liberal leader was making his way to the podium at his campaign headquarters in Montreal when he was approached by a CTV camera crew. A frustrated Dion snapped at the reporter, telling him CTV is the last media outlet he would speak to.

"The last one I want to speak first (to) is CTV - you understand that?" he said angrily.

Last week, Dion botched a pre-recorded, English-language interview with a Halifax CTV affiliate.

Dion, who looked confused, interrupted local anchor Steve Murphy to say he didn't understand his opening question and asked whether they could start over.

It took another two false starts before the interview finally proceeded.

To my adopted second home, Canada. Well played!

If Obama wins, my Canadian wife and I will be moving back north to a less socialist country than what the US will become. (I miss TimBits and their coffee, eh?)

I know what you mean. I’ve seriously considered moving to the USA (nearly landed a job in SC in ‘97) but since the 2006 election here the thought hasn’t even crossed my mind. Harper has been reminding us that being Canadian can be a good thing :-)

The MSM will call it racism,

I know, and I guess they are right. It is racism of a sort..... what we might call reverse racism, also known as affirmative action. Barak never would have gotten this far if he were white. He would have been laughed off stage a few months ago.

The only question now is if we can overcome the voter fraud......

Can't you have police and lawyers in the voting stations? Make people show ID? Outlaw Acorn, or something?

I'm worried about it too. :-(

Listen to the MSM try to smooth it over at the end of the clip.

This will be Obama on November 5.

The networks won't want to break away from live riot coverage until Obama's "Can't we all just get along?" moment.
