Sans vouloir faire de joke plate, c'est certainement pas avec Peter Mackay que l'industrie de la musique de la côte est prend des forces!
...Et une étoile à Mary Walsh.
(et avis au journaliste de la dépêche plus bas et à tous les autres, c'est Mackay, pas McKay)
Peter McKay Calls Halifax "Toronto," Condi's Crush Shatters
Peter McKay--Minister of Foreign Affairs, ex of Belinda Stronach and the man Condoleeza Rice dreams about whenever she feels the cool, Atlantic breeze brush her cheek--elicited a rousing chorus of boo-urns at the East Coast Music Awards when he called his home turf of Halifax "Toronto." He couldn't have angered the audience more if he called it McDonald's Presents Americatown.
"I'm so pleased and proud to have our agency continue to support this fantastic music event here in Toronto--" and this got the audience laughing. Then he continued, "In Ott...." and by now people were not impressed and booed him down, even though he totally could have been saying otter or Ottoman empire. "In Halifax!" he finally bumbled out, but by then he'd already lost the crowd, not to mention the goodwill of his constituents.
Considering Peter's riding is Central Nova Scotia, and he was introducing a performer at the East Coast Music Awards, we will give him the benefit of the doubt that this was a stinky award's show joke of the "Oprah/Uma" variety. But Peter's loss was Mary Walsh's gain. The This Hour Has 22 Minutes comedian swept in with a political retort of her own, referencing, "that crowd of Conservative arse-lickers of Satan who can't even remember what town they're in." We would not want to run into that tongue in a dark alley, metaphorically or literally.
