A fun tidbit: Liberal leader Stephane Dion isn’t the first Liberal to name his dog Kyoto. Turns out David Anderson, who was environment minister before Dion, also bestowed the name Kyoto to his dog.

Dion, on the other hand, named his white husky after the Liberals lost power in the last election.

Bizzarre Looking Concept Car
The Peugeot Dauphin is a concept car that looks really odd and serves of testbed for future electric vehicles. It’s the craziest tricycle you’ll ever see (pictures located at the above link, sorry in a rush with no time to attach an image).
“It’s no slouch when it comes to performance, either. Pushing the techno-tryke up to 90 mph are electric motors embedded in each rear wheel, and once you get home, you charge the vehicle up again by simply parking it over the Peugeot Dock/Recharging station.
