Hello Steve Janke!

There’s a lesson here: never throw out the B-roll!

As some of you may know, I, along with Tasha Kheiriddin and Greg Staples armed ourselves with video cameras and stalked the halls of the Liberal Party leadership convention in December looking for interesting people to talk to and fun moments to catch on tape.

Steve Janke has the post of the day (already featured on Bourque, National Newswatch and Rutherford) about John Duffy’s hypocritical position on climate change. Duffy is co-founder of the website www.climateliberal.ca and was pushing the issue of climate change at the convention. As Steve Janke brilliantly points out today, Duffy’s position is… um… unsustainable as the former Paul Martin confidante was a lobbyist for the Bromine Science and Environmental Forum (a front for the bromine producing industry) where he worked to keep bromine off of Environment Canada’s list of toxic chemicals. Bromine is “the most effective heat trapping greenhouse gases of all” according to Environment Canada.

Anyway, do go and read Steve Janke’s excellent post!

And, now… watch the following video that Tasha was able to shoot for Blogging Tories during the Liberal convention.

Dion’s blackberry downloads

A nice plug for Blogging Tories from Tim Powers on Mike Duffy Live.

Tim’s talking about the Dion ringtones / Blackberry wallpaper / Desktop wallpaper that is available for download from Blogging Tories.

Instructions, go to www.bloggingtories.ca on your mobile/blackberry and click on the Dion blackberry link.

Download the MP3 and JPG files. Set the MP3s to your ringtones and throw up a good “Dion is not a leader” pic as your Blackberry background image.

Then, when you’re in committee, or at a meeting, you will get a call and your blackberry will exclaim “Stephane Dion is not a leader”.

When you’re having a steak at Hy’s, you’ll get an email and your Blackberry will play Dion’s “Do you think it’s easy to make priorities” quote.

Get it done…

(there’s some great stuff for desktop users as well… click here browse the content. Be sure to set your MSN messenger profile picture and download the desktop wallpaper!)
