Dear Tony Blair,
We understand you are leaving politics in Britain. Please don't turn away from politics forever. We've been looking for someone like you: someone socially progressive and fiscally responsible; someone charming; someone Tough on Terror; someone who supports human rights; someone to train our immigrants; someone who will invest in the environment (and economic growth); someone to invest in education and healthcare and impose new hidden taxes; someone who's been out of the country for a while; someone with nation-building experience; someone with a record of pragmatism and caucus revolts; someone who has been to Iraq and thinks Saddam Hussein is an awful person; someone to introduce income-contingent loan repayments and higher tuition at universities; someone Tough on Human Rights; someone new; someone like Pierre Trudeau.
Mr Blair, please come to Canada. The Liberal Party needs you.
Invoking you fondly,
Bob Rae
Michael Ignatieff
Carolyn Bennett
Scott Brison
Gerrard Kennedy
Stephane Dion

A few decades ago, while roommates studying at the University of Toronto, two men -alike in intellect and virtue, apart in their answers to specific textbook questions- fell into a vat of toxic Toronto sludge and merged to form a single man: Tony Blair.
Independently, Mike and Bob were just ordinary students. One was a bookish lad with a love of travel, the other a bookish lad with a love of socialists. But together, as Tony Blair, their power was greater then the sum of each seperately, although the combined book sales of the two could not be topped.
Sounds like Tony would feel at home with the Liberals.
