Here we go again!

Lol, I don't really want to get into which side I'm on, who I support, or anything like that, but it is just more of a rant about how it just seems so petty and it's just another headache to go through another election before an election is due But oh well, that's politics! Is it just me, or are most politicians worse than cliquey girls in high school?

[DianaB]

Definitely worse than high school girls!!!!

[Janet]

I so agree.

I didn't even know the Canadian government had been overthrown! This is why I got a NY Times top news app on my Ipad! The news here is just silliness at this point. I know all about Charlie Sheen, but didn't know about Canada.

I am sorry that you have to be caught up in this. It does sound like the same political nonsense we have here. All those ads and fliers in the mail...boo!

Only 3 weeks to go! Last night we watched the leaders debate. I was surprised that even Scott got into it. He doesn't know much about politics so it was nice to educate him a little, and know he'll be voting and making an informed decision in a few weeks!

Tonight's debate will be in French, and the Bloc Quebecois leader says it will focus more on Quebec's sovereignty. Last night in the debate, he kept referring to "Quebec and the provinces", and later said he felt the other leaders aren't seeing Quebec as it's own nation... uhh... because it's NOT its own nation, it's a province of Canada just like every other province.

I am getting annoyed with my facebook friends putting all their political propaganda in their statuses and links all over the place. One friend said if you live in blah blah riding and you vote for blah blah, you might as well delete her because she's not your friend anymore, and if you want to keep being her friend, check out blah blah who is her good friend and is very into issues that she cares about. Well, let's just say I'm lucky I don't live in that riding, or I might lose a friend This is what I hate about elections, everyone gets all riled up and against each other. So far, I am biting my tongue!

It's a great day to be Canadian! We have a majority government again, for the first time since 2004! The Liberals, who had a hold on Canada for YEARS, were totally blown out of the competition in this election! They had majority government through the 90's, and a minority government from 2004-2006, and then the Conservatives have had minority since then. The Liberal leader was soooo cocky during this election, at the leaders debate even telling the NDP leader "You don't have to worry about anything because you'll never have any power anyway!" Well, history was made last night, because it is a majority Conservative government with NDP opposition (for the first time ever), and the Liberals far, far behind!

Woohoo! No more federal elections for 4 years, guaranteed!

It sounds like our government to a point. I'm assuming the Conservatives have a similar philosophy to our Republicans, and the Liberals to the Democrats???

I was wondering what they were talking about on the news yesterday. I kept hearing about Quebec, but not about all of Canada.

Anyway, I am happy for you that your favorite party is the majority!
