I like what I'm hearing from Ritz.

Finally we've got some politicos in charge that actually listen to farmers.

Or to corporations........but the perception is..........??????

Did anyone hear Ritz on CBC's As It Happens last night? He sounded like a moron. Even though it was the CBC, they kept serving up easy questions. All he could say was the line about "an expensive survey". Didn't explain a thing about how the survey question was skewed. Or that the voters list was tainted. Or that 40% shouldn't have their property rights taken away. Or that 51% for barley is barely a majority. It may not make a big difference but people who don't know much about the issue are going to think the Conservatives hate farmers. And they may start to put pressure on the govt. Ritz just didn't know how to put two sentences together. It was pathetic.

CeePen, when you do interviews all day you give a lot of energy away without the ability to recharge. When that has happened the best strategy is to say no to any more interviews util you've recharged.

Maybe he needs better people around him.

I saw the vid of the Adler interview and was impressed. Finally a minister with some guts.

I caught the tail end of the interview on CBC. I wasn't overly impressed either. There is a PR job to be done with the public. Ritz missed many opportunities to make some points with the public.
Having said that it's a tough job and harder that it looks to get a message across.

Ritz is a cracker and a moron to boot.
That's why he is a great/greatest Comedian
gag minister in history. Those
qualifications make him the best of the
best. A true Comedian politician through
and through, useless talking head!!!

Compared to Ralph Goodale Ritz is like Albert Einstein and Winston Churchill all rolled into one.

Ritz is Alberta Einstien? Ritz is a
cracker, politico. Interested in only one
thing, gettin re elected again and again,
living offen the public trough. Einstien,
I think not!
