He has speaking it as long as I have as well! (34 years and counting)- feeling shamed here. Too bad he is beholden to the Labor party and other fringe left groups. Well maybe just maybe (crossing fingers) I won't have to be compared to talking head Da Shan anymore.. YAY!!

I've always found it funny how the Chinese lump world leaders into "Friend of China" and "Not Friend of China" categories. Either way, it's sure to put Aussies in a warmer light in this country. Lucky bastards - my damn leader keeps bringing up HR issues and other trivial matters that stand in the way of us Canucks being revered for more than our easy-to-understand English. eh.
