Dion Revises Canadian History.......

......or is it just that he isn't knowledgable about Canadian history. I have to admit I didn't know about King's doctorate but then I am not trying to con you into letting me run the country.

And he was a political science professor?!

A couple hundred Liberals signalled their approval with applause.
