One summer evening in Vancouver...

So it's the wrap up for House of Commons Night in Canada, 2011. Don, what's your take on the season?

DON CHERRY
I've gotta say, it's not the way I would have picked to end it. I'm a die-hard Boston fan, but Vancouver looked like it was playing wounded, in every possible way.

RON MACLEAN
And the House of Commons is about to rise for the summer...

DON CHERRY
...without doing anything...

RON MACLEAN
They're going to pass a Great Big Crime Bill...

DON CHERRY
...just in time for the yahoos in Vancouver...

RON MACLEAN
...and the resolution supporting Canada's involvement in Libya...

DON CHERRY
...with only Elizabeth May voting against...

RON MACLEAN
So how do you see that? After all, you autographed artillery shells in Afghanistan.

DON CHERRY
I support our troops in uniform.

RON MACLEAN
So if the Canadian military is in, you're in.

DON CHERRY
Absolutely.

RON MACLEAN
What if they're on the wrong side?

DON CHERRY
Obama's country, right or wrong.

RON MACLEAN
Have a good summer at the lake.

DON CHERRY
I can hear the loons.
