The Big Guy Speaks
There’s not a lot I can add about the PM’s Friday night speech. By now, most Canadians have heard a few of Paul’s speeches, and this one wasn’t remarkable in any ways (but, then again, are any of them?). I did find it better than his acceptance speech when he won the leadership for a few reasons reasons. One, he emphasized the “team” aspect of the party. Right now, the PM isn’t popular so he emphasized out Brison and Dryden and Dosanj and Emerson and, gulp, Jean Lapierre. Also, we didn’t hear the wild promises about changing the very nature of government that would be impossible to keep. If the Liberals are going to make “promises made, promises kept” their slogan, then Harper just needs to run commercials with excerpts of Paul’s acceptance speech: “fix health care for a generation”, “politics of achievement”, “better US relations”, “fixing provincial-federal relations”, “making history”…
But most important was that he actually talked about the Liberal Party. In the past, it’s been all about the Paul Martin Party and it wouldn’t be a stretch to conclude that the big guy was embarrassed to be a Liberal. But he ended the speech with “I’m proud to be a Liberal” and I think that was nice. Like Warren said, we heard nary a word about Jean Chretien, but it’s not like that was a huge surprise. But saying he’s proud to be a Liberal and emphasizing the party’s rich history is a step in the right direction.

Having said that, Omega's relationship with METAS does not rolex replica sale involve total in-house certification processes and controls like Patek Philippes does with their "Patek Philippe Seal." This example by Patek Philippe shows that it is not uncommon, or even highly suspect for a company to control a certification rolex replica sale process in-house in the Swiss watch industry. Omega's relationship with METAS, for the foreseeable future will be to test Omega's Co-Axial Master Chronometer movements, which will be officially certified for the following key rolex replica uk factors: METAS will test the function of each and every Co-Axial Master Chronometer movement when exposed to magnetic fields greater than 15,000 gauss; the function of each watch when exposed to a magnetic field of the same strength; and even the average rolex replica daily precision in different positions and temperatures to fall between 0 and +5 rolex replica uk seconds per day (that is considerably less forgiving than the -4 to +6 second tolerance of COSC's chronometer certificate).
