sharkman Posted May 9, 2007 Report Posted May 9, 2007 This just in: Dion's bringing in one Mr. Ruszkowski, to give him an image make over: Mr. Ruszkowski, who worked for former Liberal minister Jacques Saada and was a volunteer adviser for Ken Dryden's Liberal leadership campaign, will now be tasked with righting the ship. snip Mr. Dion has quietly worked on refining his communications approach, no longer reading his questions from a script when he rises to debate Stephen Harper during Question Period in the Commons, a Liberal source said. He also employs a diction coach to help improve his pronunciation in English - an area that many commentators have singled out as a major weakness. snip Inside his office, the Liberal Leader is responding to a wobbly spring performance by changing the senior aides who handle communications and political tactics, now that the threat of an election the Liberals did not want appears to have passed. Well, finally he realizes what was obvious from the start. Or is this merely an effort to placate those who want him replaced? Quote
Michael Bluth Posted May 9, 2007 Report Posted May 9, 2007 Are we sure that he isn't a paid staffer of Mr. Dion's? Doesn't Mr. Dion's staffing budget come from public money? Why won't Mr. Dion disclose how much he is being paid? Quote No one has ever defeated the Liberals with a divided conservative family. - Hon. Jim Prentice

sharkman Posted May 9, 2007 Author Report Posted May 9, 2007 My attempt at a link didn't work earlier: Try this one. The first paragraph tells it all, where they describe Dion as narrowly missing a spring election. Quote
jdobbin Posted May 9, 2007 Report Posted May 9, 2007 My attempt at a link didn't work earlier: Try this one.The first paragraph tells it all, where they describe Dion as narrowly missing a spring election. Every expense in the Opposition leader's office is listed in terms of pay for each position. Language instructors, as has been pointed out in these forums, are covered by the budget of Parliament. Is there a hidden expense here that bares resemblance to Harper's make-up artist? Quote
sharkman Posted May 9, 2007 Author Report Posted May 9, 2007 I'm sure there is, and as soon as the media starts looking into this there will be a huge outcry. Other than that, it's kind of sad to see Dion reduced to realizing he's got such a bad image he appoints a make-up man. Quote

Why would people be shocked at Liberal hypocrisy? They were worse in Government than anything the Conservatives have done. Even in opposition they have been reduced to be "just as bad". Could that be because their budgets are smaller now? Quote No one has ever defeated the Liberals with a divided conservative family. - Hon. Jim Prentice

gc1765 Posted May 10, 2007 Report Posted May 10, 2007 Still waiting to hear all the complaints about this thread wasting bandwith... Quote Almost three thousand people died needlessly and tragically at the World Trade Center on September 11; ten thousand Africans die needlessly and tragically every single day-and have died every single day since September 11-of AIDS, TB, and malaria. We need to keep September 11 in perspective, especially because the ten thousand daily deaths are preventable. - Jeffrey Sachs (from his book "The End of Poverty")

Oh yes, it was about the fact that Dion's office has a lot more transparency than Harper's office. What's this? Has Dion released the amount of money this is costing to the Liberal party and Canadians? This thread is about Dion finally getting it, probably in the hopes of staving off infighting in the Liberal party, and bringing someone on board to try to do something with his awful image. Quote

Where are the Liberals getting the money to pay for this? I seem to remember Harper being attacked mercilessly by the hateocracy for being unable to pick proper clothes or have makeup applied. Then when the Liberals get an image consultant it's all good. But then again, Stephen Harper's weight is fair game while Stephane Dion's atrocious English isn't.

Canuck E Stan Posted May 10, 2007 Report Posted May 10, 2007 Is there a hidden expense here that bares resemblance to Harper's make-up artist? Just one, the government money that ad agencies got for doing nothing, and in turn ended up being given to Quebec Liberals to run their election campaign. That amount was never devulged to the public, nor who got how much of it. Gee, did Dion get any? How much? Who did, or knew, what Frankness aside, the commission chair blasted Brault's business ethics and practices, especially when it came to making unrecorded cash contributions to the Liberal Party of Canada's Quebec branch.
