1. Chretien in Ottawa: In the evening of October 28, 2003, I went to SFU and checked out Air Canada website for information on ticket to Ottawa around 11:30PM. -- I had taken the special trip in the hope that SFU, as a public institution, would respect my privacy on the Internet. -- The next day, the then Prime Minister Jean Chretien reportedly hinted, for the first time, of earlier retirement at Liberal caucus meeting.
2. Martin in Ottawa: During an interview with a Chinese reporter from Fairchild TV soon after he successfully succeeded Chretien into the PMO, Paul Martin urged people not to come to Ottawa.
Coincidence or conspiracy?
