Jack also wants to make Punjabi an official language of Canada.

How do you say "Gentlemen; start your engines" in Punjabi?
Oh, hang on; I think I've got Russel Peters e-mail addy here somewhere...;)
The "chicken in every pot" is sooo yesterday.

Next thing they will probably do the unthinkable and promote the manufacturing of gas guzzling cars in Ontario. Then blame it on Alberta and newfoundland for providing the fuel.
And Jack's going to get the next Olympics in Glace Bay too.

On a more serious note,how much would it take to bring the race back? Where is money going to come from? It hardly seems right to tax ordinary Canadians to support a spectator sport for the jet set or to ask them to subsidize their watering holes.
Don't get me wrong. I frequent these places myself. I just don't think that the government should be paying for the races and festivals that make summer so agreeable here in Montreal. In a time of economic crisis, it seems fair enough to ask that these events be self sufficient.
