I thought Sarnia was where C.S. Lewis staged his epic work – The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe? – oops that was Narnia .

When all is said and done, i suspect that Jack will have the most productive day of the lot. Steve’s gonna be too busy keeping those unruly Canadian press groupies from clearing their throats, GG’s gonna have her nose in the protocal manual and Iggy’s gonna doing his best uncle Abe ‘ i’m really a man of the people too shtick,’

To be fair, I suppose Gilles Duceppe isn’t meeting with The One (TM) either. Ditto Lizzie May.

Wherry, I laughed out loud when I read the title of your post and then looked down at the press release headline “LAYTON MEETS WITH MAYOR OF SARNIA”. Perfect example of the comedic potential of a well-chosen title.
