Musings of a Canadian Slacker

Feel free to panic now.

The minority aspect of it is interesting. All depends on whose assistance the Prime Minister chooses to call on to get those things done that he wishes to get done. Mr. Layton and M. Duceppe now become rather more important than they had been. Which may or may not be good for the country, since Mr. Layton represents our socialist friends, and M.Duceppe has as his fondest wish the idea that part of this country does not belong in this country.

In any case, it should be an interesting year or two. I do hope that Belinda gets elected in her riding. She would make the opposition benches so much more interesting.


 
Ok, kids, lets not panic. No reasonable person expected Stephen Harper to do well in Atlantic Canada; to many in the East, he is the bogeyman who is going to take all their candy away. Ontario will be the breakthrough. Take a deep breath and wait for 9:30 EST.

Andrew Coyne drops a bot mot bomb: "...particular individuals, from Cheryl Gallant to Ralph Klein, who apparently lack the motor skills to close their mouths when a microphone is placed in front of them." My only question is this: isn't this basically a textbook definition of a politician? (Do read the rest of it)
