Welcome to Bangkok Thai Cuisine. We thank you for trying our restaurant and we sincerely hope your meal will be a Bring 10% off take-out orders over $30 Bad weather in Ottawa and a new set of Conservative attack ads were not enough to keep Liberal Party leader Stephane Dion from visiting Oakville Thursday night. The Opposition Leader spoke to a crowd of more than 200 people at a Liberal fundraising dinner held in the dinning hall of International Union of Operating Engineers Local 793. Those who came to see him braved a $200-per-person fee, as well as a few nail-biting moments when it was announced that Dion's plane had been delayed in Ottawa due to bad weather. After nearly an hour of waiting, the patience of Dion's devoted followers was rewarded with the arrival of a silver mini-van from which emerged the man who hopes to become Canada's 23rd Prime Minister.

He gave me a political family, but he gave me more than that." Turner went on to say that Dion offered him something crucial he did not find during his time under Prime Minister Stephen Harper. "Stephane Dion gives every member of Parliament, every elected person respect," said Turner. "This is not a man who promises one thing to gain power and then does something else. This is not a man who leads by intimidating other people. This is not a leader who makes himself more powerful by tearing down or ridiculing or belittling or smearing his adversaries. Stephane Dion is no Stephen Harper and that is why Stephane is destined of course to be the next Prime Minister of Canada." Dion began his speech by calling for the re-election of Oakville MP Bonnie Brown and Oakville MPP Kevin Flynn. Dion also called for the JOIN US!
