“I don’t like Paul Martin. He’s boring.”

“I know what you mean. He’s so boring, you don’t even know what he really is. He could be anything.”

“At least Chrétien was funny.”

“Paul Martin scares me.”

Paul Martin was sworn in yesterday as Canada’s 21st Prime Minister. A big day for Canada. Also a big day in the blog world. If you visit Dear Jean, you’ll notice that it now says “Dear Paul” across the top.

Chris Lloyd has been writing to the Prime Minister almost daily for ages now. I sort of wondered what Chris would do when Chrétien finally retired–if he would try to keep writing to Jean as a private citizen, in the hopes that Jean might finally have the time to write back. But no, it looks like Paul Martin will now be the recipient of these messages detailing the minutiae of Chris’s life.

It almost makes me want to write to the PM myself, just so I can say, “C’mon dude, drop Chris a line whydontcha.”
