Former Liberal leader Stephane Dion got more bad news today when his official backpack sponsor dropped him. The 30- year lucrative deal which was worth somewhere in the neighborhood of $15,000 CAD per year was cut short by Targus Canada. A Targus representative could not be reached for comment but it is assumed all the negative publicity with Dion’s loss in the Federal election and his failed attempt in overthrowing Stephen Harper resulted in the termination of the contract.

Dion was disappointed but upbeat. “I was saddened by this fact as I enjoyed taking my knapsack everywhere. It is how my dog Kyoto got in to see everything in Parliament without anyone suspecting. I never put my paperwork in there because Kyoto has a weak bladder and the knapsack gets very heavy by the end of the day,” he added.

Dion has already approached other companies in a bid to find new sponsors. Grecian Formula, Toastmasters International, Dale Carnegie and Youtube have all been contacted by Dion since the beginning of January. Although he has received no response from any of the companies, Dion remains hopeful. “I have not heard anything yet but we will see. Canada Post is so friggin slow!”
