The fact is that Dion is just incompetant.

Yeah, that was pointed out, but I stand by my statement that I think the quality of the recording should not be a concern.
To be fair to Harper, he is often blamed for being to robotic and sounding too rehearsed and I think that is irrelevant too. The only thing I think should matter is if you find the message to be sincere and if you agree with it. For me, I find that both Harper and Dion are only 50/50. I find Harper sincere, but I don't agree with his stance. For Dion (or rather the Liberals at this time), I don't think he is sincere in his intentions, but I think he has some good points. By not sincere in his intentions, I mean that I think he could achieve practically the same thing as a strong opposition leader as he could as leader of a coalition. Sure, Harper came out with some very strong partisanship in parliament when he really had no business to as the economic situation should be the #1 issue, and he is only leading a minority, but I think the slap on the wrist from the rest of parliament should have been good enough. An opposition coalition would probably be just as effective.
I guess that is the thing that bugs me about the Liberals even though I agree with some of what they are saying. They seem to think that being the opposition is a "loser" position, when really, the opposition leader has the second most important job in the country and Dion was chosen for that job yet the first chance he has to leave that spot, he does...
