So..... Have you noticed how Ontario Premier Wynne always starts a
response to a difficult question in a particular way? So......
Have you also noticed how the answer is invariably a predetermined,
canned, non answer to the question asked? So....... at first I
thought it to just be a strange habit of Wynnes speech but then I
noticed several federal ministers replying to an interviewer in the
same manner.
So...... is this an affliction that is spreading among
politicians and when we hear an answer started this way we can simply
ignore the following sentence or two. So......... does this mean
that promises made after this word, like the promise to lower hydro
prices, something that is supposedly set by the “independent”
OEB, is just bafflegab?
So........ Thus far I have only noticed the affliction in our
female politicians, are the male bafflegabbers immune from this or
does it just present differently in that portion of our MPs and MPPs?
So..... watch out for this signal that you are about to be fed a
pre-programmed response. So...... does that mean that you can ignore
what you have just read here, sure go ahead it makes just about as
much sense as some of the answers given elsewhere of late!

I, too, have noticed that both women and men begin their answers to interviews with the same two letter word, Rural. It's the kind of thing that provokes a four letter response in the audience.
I begin to wonder if they all use the same speaking coach, Owen,
