Paul Martin is on the air! Taking a cue from that fellow down in the US of A, the Prime Minister is set to begin a weekly radio address, starting this Sunday.
The Liberals have purchased air time on private radio stations across the country to air the PM's two minute oratorical creations, every Sunday between 10 and 11 am. The reason for the purchase of air time as opposed to the free time CBC route is quite simple, apparently he may chat about things political from time to time and felt that the Liberal party should bear the price of the chats. This way if Stephen Harper, Jack Layton or Gilles Duceppe wish to rebut or offer up thoughts of their own, they'll have to pony up some cash. If nothing else, Paul Martin is going to be a very popular guy around the CAB member offices.
For those that don't live in the 28 selected markets, there's no need to be worried. You shan't be deprived of the PM's way with words. All of the chats will be made available on the Liberal party website at www.liberal.ca, which I guess now means the PM the PM is now a podcaster.
Surely it's only a matter of time before the return of Paul's blog to the web. Faithful Podunk followers will remember the halcyon days of the last election, when the PM (well his handlers eh) kept us up to speed on the day day excitement of a national campaign!
