Five foot two . . .
This campaign has been famously boring. Satirists are complaining. (Can’t find the article online.) Paul Martin pledges to leave if he doesn’t keep his promises. Yeah, sure you will. Just like Chretien promised to resign halfway through his term if we’d elect him just one more time. And we did! (And, eventually, he did, too. Very slowly.)
But look! What’s the front page news about the election? Campaign promises? No, silly, it’s the colour of the party leaders’ eyes.
