Pomopoli sighting

John Manley serves up a bit of wisdom:

Best part is his advice to, well, everyone on how to bring on "new politics":


Citizens: By insisting upon being treated like intelligent human beings who care about their communities and their country, and by demanding an improved level of debate about issues both within and outside of Parliament, the legislatures and city halls;

Politicians: By backing away from the personal attacks and talking about complex matters in a serious manner -- telling the truth about some of the hard choices that face us;

Journalists (and their editors): By treating public policy as something more than entertainment.
