Of Mice And (Boys Pretending To Be) Men…

Tell me about the rabbits Stephane Dion.

“My first interest was for the society of animals, not of man,” he recalls. “We had a neighbour named Gaston Moisan, a biologist who was a deputy minister of natural resources. He set traps for the rabbits, to band them, and used to take me with him. He was 5-foot-7, but he was a giant for me.”

A charming childhood anecdote — except, according to Mr. Moisan, it never happened. “I don’t know how he could have imagined that,” the retired bureaucrat and university professor says. “I had nothing to do with Stéphane. And I never sensed any interest on his part for my work.”

    The Dion can be Prime Minister of Animals while adults conduct the affairs of state – no problem then.

    Dion is at least one step up on Chretien, though. Chretien lied about a non-existant homeless man. At least the man Dion is lying about actually exists:)

    Here is the part that the Globe left out.

    It was around this same time when little Stephane received a phone call from a young Stephen Harper seeking advice on the young Harpers ‘rabbit nation’ proposal he was preparing for show and tell.

    Dion is thinking of that movie from the 50s where some guy has an imaginary friend that is a giant rabbit.
