They've Invited the King?

The Sheila Copps love-in that was originally conceived by Liberal MP Paul Zed and former Liberal MP Dennis Mills is coming soon. The event is to be hosted at the King Edward Hotel and as it has all the makings of a Peace Treaty/Cease Fire/Armistice is being referred to as the "King Edward Accord." As much as I think Sheila should be honoured for her contributions to the party and that many apologies should be rained down upon her for her treatment in 2003 and then again in 2004, I certainly hope that no one has taken it into their heads to make her royalty.

Some big names will be making appearances: John Turner, Jean Chretien, Warren Kinsella, Tim Murphy, Jane Stewart, Carolyn Bennett, Belinda Stronach. Paul Martin has also been invited.

Nothing like a good, cathartic, drunken mutual admiration party. Further evidence of my personal dictum that "alcohol is the only solution to political friction."


UPDATE:(via)
It turns out that the organisers are interested in getting the good news out into the blogosphere, they've offered press credentials to any political blogger interested in attending. They've put aside a press room at the hotel with internet access. This is all part of "recogniz[ing] the important role that Bloggers are now playing on the Canadian political landscape."

Cherniak, TDH, CalgaryGrit have all picked it up. Kudos to the organisers.
