Stéphane Dion said goodbye to the reporter who has spent the most time on his campaign. Every day since the campaign began. The only reporter around since day one.

Now throughout the campaign the reporter has playfully and respectfully laughed with Dion's staff about his constant and unique mispronunciation of the word productivity. He calls it "productivi-ti-vi-ties."

Back to the cake. He presented it by saying "I made this cake with a lot of productivi-ti-vi-ties."

I laughed at his sportsmanship and thanked him.

For the record, I am leaving the tour to begin preparing for election night. I will be presenting results for western Canada and have a lot of studying to do.
