The premise of the writer of the article in today's Ottawa Sun is all wrong.

The public gets the message of the Prime Minister but chooses to let it go out the other ear.

Why?

They probably have no confidence in the basis of truth the message may be based in.

Out here in Calgary, we have the Minister of Justice speaking to a law class at the University of Calgary for one hour, and then appearing at two fund raising events, today on March 29, 2005.

March 30th, Senator Tommy Banks will be announcing a collaboration among the Government of Canada, the Government of Alberta, the Federation of Canadian Municipalities and a number of Canadian companies to build and operate the first community in North America to use solar heating on a large-scale. All on behalf of the Honourable R. John Efford, Minister of Natural Resources Canada, and the Honourable Stéphane Dion, Minister of the Environment.

A great cause and great story.

Why not have the elected Minister who is in Calgary do it?

Is this just another method of rubbing the collective noses of Calgarians in our own dirt?
What does this say about the promises the Prime Minister made to us in Calgary, and you in the rest of Canada?
