This is an effective Leader of the Opposition...

Canadians are sometimes regarded in international circles as being overly smug. We are international boyscouts (and girl scouts?) who like to occupy a helper/fixer role on the world stage. Sometimes we can learn from others.

Ukrainian Opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko recently took the wood to Ukrainian Energy Minister Yuriy Boyko on live TV here as pointed out by LEvko from Foreign Notes.

Frankly, the Liberals could learn a thing or two from Tymoshenko and administer a "thumpin" (as Dubbya would say) to the Conservatives with this type of tenacity.

Yes - Tymoshenko rocks. The brains of Hillary, the looks of Belinda, and hair that looks like it just came out of the oven.

Oh Eastern Europe - you've gotta love it!
