Canadian interview with quad MP
This video clip of CBC reporter Rick Mercer interviewing Steven Fletcher -- first person to use a wheelchair elected to Canadian Parliament -- amuses and informs without being too cliché. Fletcher is a Conservative, a Federal MP from Winnipeg, and a high quad. The video is about four minutes long and I'm not the best typist, otherwise I'd make up a transcript for those unable to see or hear the clip. Anyone who can tell me some other method I could use to make a video like this more accessible, I'd be happy for that information.

I really like the attitude of the Canadian MP. So forthright, and unapoligetic.
The poor able reporter comes off as somewhat of a doofus, but he did alright.
I got all nostalgic from their accents, which are very similar to my maternal relatives in extreme northern Minnesota and distinct from central MN, where I am. (LAY'-see pee'-pull!)
I actually got some nostalgia as well, since my family vacationed in Ontario for a number of years .

I made closed captions (in english and german) for that video clip. Deaf and hoh people find them at http://www.ortegalink.com/blog/cl/2005/07/31/308/
