I blame TV. The day they had to change the format of Sesame Street because kids couldn't follow it, I knew we were in trouble.

It may not be just leadership you are missing. Grey and Whelan weren't necessarily leader material but they had character and charisma. Back in the day, there were a lot of characters in politics and then some of those folks had vision and/or power lust and became leaders too. Grey, Whelan, Crosbie, Chretien, Trudeau, Mulroney. Even Clark, Nielsen, MacEachen, Flora, Copps had some zip. The bunch in parliament now, in all parties, are pretty faceless and aimless. Maybe they are all too comfortable punching the clock, playing to the polls and cashing their pay-cheques? It sure is dull....
