Here's the video for anyone who hasn't seen it yet. Slight change of wardrobe today. No jean jacket.

At the risk of being superficial (and I in no way want to downplay the important message), Gord looks great. He spoke with a clear mind and a clear voice, and articulated his thoughts well in a speech that he didn't appear to have notes for. The change of attire was also a nice move. The felt top hats suit him much more than the First Avenue ball cap.

There were teleprompters for each speech today.
Re: Canada Day in YOW - potsie - 07-02-2017
I looked for a TelePrompTer and didn't see any in the video. He had me fooled!

The felt top hats suit him much more than the First Avenue ball cap.on his left temple, there was a clear burn from what's clearly radiation treatment for his tumour. not sure if that's a new or old mark.
he's also on good doses of prednisone. you can see it in the shape of his face.
that being said....he's doing quite well considering the post-surgery prognosis and it's always amazing to see his face and hear his voice.

I was using "great" in a relative sense. He's had the prednisone "moon face" to varying degrees since he first appeared publicly last summer, but I think he looks as good as he did a year ago. I did notice the burn after you pointed it out. The other thing I noted the second time through, which I really enjoyed seeing, were the left hand gestures. Some classic Gord stage moves, toned down just slightly for the occasion.
