Finally, the At Issue panel returned to the National after the summer break. Hoping, praying for a new style from Chantal, but instead, the same old do appeared. She did have an interesting new necklace though.
The panel discussed the upcoming throne speech and the state of the various parties. All of them denounced Mulroney's attack on Trudeau. It was called pathetic, out of character, and the product of an insecure, vain and jealous man. Allan Gregg said that Mulroney's accomplishments speak for themselves, but he doesn't seem to realize this and wants recognition for more. Chantal Hebert pointed out that Mulroney's attacks on Trudeau (and Bouchard, although less reported) are against two men with vastly higher respect in English and French Canada than he ever had. And after this, likely will ever have.
The biggest news out of the segment came at the end when Peter Mansbridge announced that the At Issue panel, easily Canada's most comprehensive, engaging and entertaining political panel, would be available for download as a video or audio podcast! Very exciting indeed.
So go do your own pundit hair watch. Don't say you haven't been warned.

that was my initial reaction too: nice necklace chantal ;-). i enjoyed andrew coyne's analysis.
I don't think I've ever not enjoyed his analysis. Allan Gregg sounded too much like the pollster that he is. The classic line up was Coyne, Hebert, Wells. It still gives me goosebumps! Alas, Paul is off in France.
