Exact quote from Watson at the TPA/AGM

(editor's note:  As Brian Iler cross examined Colin Watson at the Toronto Port Authority Annual General Meeting about his conflict of interest in voting for the new ferry, Watson exploded in anger.  This is a response to the exchange from one of the people in the audience.)

Here is the exact quote. (An old journalistic tic clicks in when a perfect one comes flying through the air.)

"I can hear you! You don't have to yell at me! You sound like a Communist!"

If you don't have this done up as a needlepoint sampler, and signed " -- Colin Watson" you are missing the chance to create one of the great objets de political art of the entire age. It should pass down through succeeding generations in  your family as a glorious treasure. Ultimately it will have a glass case of its own in the Museum of Humankind Or Whatever It's Called in Ottawa.

Surely you know Colin Watson. Ran Rogers for many, many years. Ran Spar aerospace.
Maybe the last best argument for communism on the face of the planet.
