A Few Average Men, Redux

The Tories have scared up a few, in fact precisely two, "regular guys" to come talk up their changes to the census at the INDU meeting this morning. Or at least I am assuming that talk radio ranter and Fox News North wannabe David Ruthorford will be on-side. In addition, Lawrie McFarlane, editorial writer for the Times-Colonist, has made his feelings clear. And that seems to be it from the schedule that I can see. Even the gal from B.C. civil liberties seems pro-long form.

Update: Looks like the Tories have found another talk show guy; Lowell Green will be appearing.

Update: Tories also found James Henderson, whose bitches turned out to be with the still mandatory agricultural census, and Joseph Lam, the vice-president of the Canada First Community Organization, to speak on behalf of regular folk.

Fox North: A Lengthening Parade Of Losers

Dave Rutherford suggests himself as Fox North superstar, in an article which is quick to note that:

Rutherford's talk radio program is the first stop for Conservatives in Alberta, but attempts at national syndication have never succeeded.

Incidentally, or not, Dave Rutherford was one of the few Canuck journalists taken in by the Yes Men's wonderful Copenhagen hoax last December, inadvertently providing air time to one of the hoaxers. But I guess at Fox North Ezra Levant will be on hand for fact-checking purposes.

Meanwhile, Rachel Marsden cautions Fox North against hiring ugly people for tv work.

I have a feeling that the resumes are just a flyin' through cyberspace this morning.
