To catch a photo of him, I googled and got this, among others, pic op.<BR/><BR/>http://www.tibet.ca/en/dalailamavisit2004/photos.shtml<BR/><BR/>Seems all of the candidates needed an audience the Dalai Lama. Funny thing is all of them wore some kind of white shawl. The Dalai did not correspondingly wear one in the pictures, except for the phot op with Paul Martin. Was the Dalai tipping his hand as far as whom Tibetan-Canadians should be voting for?DarkoVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11572734667248592785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329706.post-1136983076040843892006-01-11T07:37:00.000-05:002006-01-11T07:37:00.000-05:00Did you watch the French debates last night by any...Did you watch the French debates last night by any chance? Layton's nasty 'stache should play well in the land of swingers, one would think.

Would be interested to learn if there are any viable plans for such? If not, the Simpsons' Kodos vs. Kang scenario almost seems inevitable!
