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.

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.
