Removed POV since no specific examples of POV are given. Please feel free to add any positive things observers have said about him. I'll see what I can add. Homey 00:21, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Thought that the picture before wasn't the best one.

You may be right but we can't just copy an image from Baird's website without permission. Homey 02:51, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The Honourable

Okay, so what's the problem with The Honourable? Members of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada are entitled to the prefix, unlike regular MPs. Why remove it? Digging.holes 06:43, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Okay, nevermind, I just read the relevant part of the Style Manual. I personally feel it is a stupid policy ; nevertheless, I will abide by it until such time as it is changed or I stop caring. Whichever comes first. Digging.holes 06:49, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Please see the section of the style book on honorifics. Thanks.Homey 06:49, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Why doesn't Mr. Baird have a website? How are his constituants supposed to contact him? Doesn't seem very organized..
