The Globe and Mail reports:
In a speech that seemed crafted for Tea Party followers more than curious Canadians, former Alaska governor Sarah Palin used an invitation to address an upscale book club audience here to preach the virtues of free enterprise and praise the power of tax cuts to cure all economic woes.
With “First Dude” husband Todd in tow, Ms. Palin began her remarks by speaking about her family’s love and connection to Canada – the birthplace of a grandfather and great-grandfather in her family. But she quickly moved to fill the audience of nearly 200 in on her daughter Bristol’s experiences on the American television hit Dancing with the Stars. She also wanted to dispel a recent tabloid story that she and her husband were heading for an expensive divorce. ...
After her 30-minute speech, Ms. Palin agreed to take questions from audience members who paid up to $500 each to attend. Many of the queries from the floor allowed the former Republican vice-presidential candidate to tee off on the “lame stream media.” She seemed to agree with one person who suggested she allowed herself to be too programmed by Republican presidential candidate John McCain’s handlers during the pair’s bid for the White House.
“Thanks for the advice,” said Ms. Palin, at the event ostensibly to plug her book Going Rogue. “When I do run again I will be more rogue.”
