I think Jensen is looking gobsmacked because the PM just told him not to expect BOB by Christmas.

dragged the family out for an event last week and got a chance to intro the family to the PM. Stephen Harper. Parker is on the left, Jensen on the right. Me, looking like I'm asleep, on the far left. Also, wife Sasha. The PM was real cool with the boys...taking the opportunity to chat with them a bit. The older chap at the back was a Lancaster navigator during the war. He was shot down on his 22nd mission with the Pathfinders. He had flown the Halifax for about 15 missions, then one day (upon a crash landing) found out they'd been transferred. 85 years old and still going strong.
