Canada's Debate

I did this “place in the world” quiz, and the answer surprised me. Normally I don’t place too much stock into an internet quiz, but an intriguing result is an intriguing result. (See bottom of post.)
Anyways, for some reason the quiz turned my thoughts to the book 1984, and the upcoming election. It has been [...]

Anyone else getting sick of those “choose your Canada” ads? I know I am, not because they put me on the spot however. Rather, I’m ticked off because everyone is making the wrong choices… that, or they’re making their choices for the wrong reason. Honestly, it’s appalling and frustrating.
Regardless, the election is going to happen, [...]

I know that a lot of people have made up their mind to vote for Stephen Harper, and I know their reasons. There is no disputing that Paul Martin’s leadership of this country has been ineffective and in cases downright incompetent.

Ok, so it’s debate time. I skipped the opening statements because they’re boring beyond compare. So lets watch shall we. I’ll be sticking with the same format as before.

Ok, I admit it, I’m not actually depressed, or depressing. I’m actually feeling quite good after buying some nice clothing today. Normally I wouldn’t be completely enthralled by the trappings of [...]

Some quick hits as I am watching and listening to the debate, colour coded by party. I wish I had started this right at 8pm, but I was playing Scrabble with my grandmother. Ok, I’ll have detailed responses to the debate tomorrow.
8:53 - Jack Layton needs to stop sucking Ed Broadbent’s cock on national television. [...]

I think we can all agree that watching this election has been incredibly boring. I mean, there have been no outrageous screwups, no evident scandals (income-trust leakage notwithstanding) and no real bell-ringer issues… at least not yet. Perhaps I’m just experiencing fatigue because this campaign started about a year and a half ago. Regardless of [...]

Just some organized thoughts on Canadian politics in the shadow of a looming election…
