Likey speechy (IV)

So, Fearless Leader on Wednesday went up to the Canada, in which country, in a hotel just a few hundred metres across the river from Hydro Quebec, He gave a blistering speech, full of The Crazy. For some inexplicable reason, Fearless Leader gave just a few hours' worth of official notice of this historic event.

Our Dear Speech is entitled: The Province We Are; The Province We Aspire To Be.

Talk about your bait-and-switch; nothing, of course, could be further from the truth: ODS was rather, for six of its nine loopy and plodding pages, The Province Quebec Is; Or At Least, The Province I Think Quebec Is (And You Should, Too).

(Incidentally, who started the vicious rumour that Danny Williams is an "eloquent" speaker? Yeah, you need to see an audiologist.)

Don't bother looking for it on Our Dear Speeches website, however. Not only has it not been updated this calendar year, since He quotes or mentions by name the President of Air Canada, Fred Shero, former coach of the Philadelphia Flyers, Robert Browning, Sir Winston Churchill, Jeffrey Simpson, Don Martin, Seamus O'Regan, Rex Murphy, Rick Mercer, Heidi Bonnell, and Max Keeping, it would, apparently, be illegal under the Orwellian (or is it Kafkaesque?) laws of Dannystan to publish this barnburner on a provincial government web server, at least not without substantial redaction.

Never fear, however: the full text, including The Crazy, is available through the private sector.
