"It's all about me!"

How great to see financial beardo Garth Turner providing some much-needed comic relief to the Tories' opening week kick at the can.

MP Garth's barking is apparently designed to make him the easy call of choice when Lib-turned-Tory David Emerson is driven from cabinet kennel, yelping.

As fans of the noisy one-time Toronto Sun money guru and PC finance minister may remember, Turner's predictive powers can be a little iffy.

Hold your bets.
