I am a hockey dad. Forget about this book tour stuff, or politics: I was with Son One at a game on West side of town to almost midnight (we won). Then, up way too early to get Son Two to goalie school on the East side (he’s not bad).

Yesterday in Montreal, it was a busybusy day with CBC, CTV and CJAD (twice).
Later today in Ottawa, we’ll be sellin’ and signin’ books around noon at the Chapters on Rideau and Sussex. C’mon by and say hi!

UPDATE: In Jane’s story, here, it seems he had a bit of a down day, yesterday. He should remember that one Liberal’s “divisiveness and navel-gazing” can be another Liberal’s “having a bona fide opinion.” LeBlanc’s right, however: if people don’t run, they don’t run. It’s not the responsibility of the front-runner to recruit them.
