MacKay and Jack Layton: Separated at birth

A little screw up at the East Coast Music Awards tonight.

Not to be outdone by Jack Layton, Peter MacKay forgets where he is at the East Coast Music Awards tonight.

It was on CBC around 9:25, from Halifax.

Peter MacKay says, "I'm really glad to be here in Toronto, uhh Ottawa, I mean uhh... Halifax"

Then Opera singer Measha Brueggergosman came out and said "someone should tell THAT MAN to read a teleprompter."

If that weren't succinct enough, Mary Walsh came out and called the government "Conservative arse-lickers in Ottawa".

The camera pans to MacKay and stays there for an uncomfortable amount of time.

H/T gmac.

UPDATE: CP is reporting that Comedian Mary Walsh wasn't bleeped, however, when she called the federal Conservatives "the arse-lickers of Satan," as an uncomfortable-looking Foreign Affairs Minister Peter MacKay smiled in the front row.
