He was at the new medical building making his announcements about health care.
My bus passed by the parking lot near the medical building, and I saw that the parking lot was blocked off by campus security. I thought, that was wierd.

Then I noticed there were three Liberal coach busses in the parking lot. There were a handful of RCMP there too. I thought, oh this must be Paul Martin. Meh, whatever.
