Recap of political figures sightings

Recent (i.e in the last 3 months) sightings include
Foreign Affairs Minister Peter McKay (Ottawa Airport)
Former PM Joe Clarke (on train to MTL)
Larry O'Brien~ mayor of O-town (in his car leaving his condo building which is right next door to my work)
Robert Fife~political correspondent for CTV (walking down the street in the market- I recognized his hair immediately)
General Rick Hillier~Chief of the Defense Staff (walking in the Rideau Centre)

and just this morning, standing in line at Timmies: Minister Gordon O'Occonor, Minister of National Defense. Yep the man gets his own coffee- and at my Timmies no less (read the timmies I frequent most often). Makes sense DND HQ and the Hill are both within walking distance.

Belinda needed a car to get to work, a whole block away (not exaggerating here) ~ she lives in the same condo building as the mayor, right next door to my work, yet Minister O'Connor can stand in line for his own coffee.

Consider me impressed.
