A Nice Thing to Say about Sunday Edition

Paula Todd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had not listened in a few weeks and she showed up in charge today, in Michael Enright's absence in Montreal. I had seen predictions she would end up big time on the CBC (despite the enormous over-supply there of very good women reporters of a certain age). But I am happy to have Paula join them.
Meanwhile, even more shocking to me, the show featured an interview with Stephane Dion that was really quite excellent. I especially liked the discussion of the dog, named Kyoto, obtained as a gift for a family that had sacrificed a lot to his career, after election destruction of the Martin Liberals last January. His comment in the end that, though his decision to run for the Liberal leadership, and his victory, had both undermined his original plan to take care of a needful husky dog, and moved the responsibility for those efforts onto wife and daughter, they could not abandon the dog, as he was now theirs for good, were touching and dead right.
Lyndon Johnson had dogs in the White House, Clinton had a cat and a dog, in fact a dog that was his only friend at some point, so maybe I don't fully get the problem. Does he not get a nice house in Ottawa?
But he indicated no plan to sell or give away the dog, however sadly named.
