God keep our land glorious and free

Apparently Michael Ignatieff is speaking at Dalhousie tomorrow afternoon. How do I know this? My presence at the event has been requested. I'm not much of a pol, so why am I being summoned? I kid you not - I've been asked to sit behind Ignatieff and be a "good looking person" (their words, not mine) in the background for all of the photo ops. I guess they didn't want any ugly real Liberal supporters ruining the photos.
