Ya, But Can He Play Tony Danza?

As Alison notes, it looks like a bunch of us scufflers in the bloggodome may have played a small part in forcing a tiny segment of the mainstream media to at least pay lip service to the 'Anschluss In The Rockies' story.

The latest is the Ceeb, whose report on the secret meeting on North American Deep Integration is essentially warmed over Mel Hurtig.

But one of the real heroes of the story, according to this piece in the Rocky Mountain Outlook (and others), appears to be a guy named Chris Foote:

Chris Foote, a former Green Party candidate in Wild Rose, is organizing the Monday protest on the sidewalk outside the Fairmont Banff Springs. “It has to be peaceful, no violence, or we’ll just end up like Rumsfeld.

“People in my taxi were making chatter (during the event). None are willing to give their names to the media, but they will to a cab driver.”

Foote said he also talked with people who saw Prime Minister Stephen Harper in town.

The protest, he said, “is to try to get people out to show their objection to a secret conference. Hopefully, it will convince the Banff Springs to not hold secret conferences.”

That's right.

The whistle blower on the ground is an environmentalist who drives a hack for a living.

Actually, by all appearances, our man Foote looks to be a pretty interesting, multifaceted guy.
