Comments on: Irony Defined: Paying $122,000 For a Speech About Fiscal Responsibility http://www.yourworldtoday.ca/2008/02/04/irony-defined-paying-122000-for-a-speech-about-fiscal-responsibility/ Fri, 03 Feb 2012 14:31:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: TheArch http://www.yourworldtoday.ca/2008/02/04/irony-defined-paying-122000-for-a-speech-about-fiscal-responsibility/#comment-261 TheArch Thu, 07 Feb 2008 20:23:59 +0000 http://issmatblog.wordpress.com/?p=335#comment-261 I would just like to make a point a point that you made issmat "The inference that neither Canada’s top finance politician nor any of his aides are able to write a speech about the subject matter of which they are assumed to be experts". Do you really believe that our elected members of parliment or any elected member for that reason has any experience in what they have been designated to do. Most if not all of these people worked as a director or CEO for some company and now want to be elected to help get contracts for those they have close ties too. Anyway it's just a thought buddy an that all these people we elect are only where they are because they have money or access to it. I would just like to make a point a point that you made issmat

So writing that speech would be equivalent to well under $5,000 for me. I was the top public speaker in Halifax County 4-H back in the mid 80s. Someone hook me up with a speech writing jig already.
