*sigh* He's still Prime Minister. I was hoping it was a dream.

On the plus side, the Bloque Québecois is actually DOWN in numbers from the last election. And it's a minority government. Those tend not to last. I didn't want THIS election, but now that Scary Man is in power, the next one can't come soon enough. Everyone was so fixated on wanting a change that they didn't think about whether the Conservatives were going to provide the KIND of change the country needs. Here's a hint: They aren't.

In HAPPY news, miana_dude is, like, the coolest person in the world. She sent us a rather illegal video recording of Wicked with the original Broadway cast. It's SO MUCH AWESOME! The staging is absolutely BRILLIANT. Of course, now I'm REALLY dying to see the show live.

You know you're a theatre person when you pick out which dance breaks exist solely to allow others to make a quick costume change. :p

Yubs, it's going to bounce between the Conservatives and the Liberals for at least the next twenty years. Why? Because the majority of the voters are elderly, they vote for the parties they've known all their lives, and in some cases the parties their families have always voted for, without looking at the issues.

I didn't vote for them. I would've voted for the Absolutely Ridiculous Party, but they weren't running.

I'm not sure who you are because of LJ being silly but...

I wish they would make it easier for students to vote. Then our demographic might actually get, y'know, a VOICE.

Really a shame about the Absolutely Ridiculous Party. Would have beat choosing between the Damned If We Do Party, Damned If We Don't Party, Doesn't Have A Prayer Party, Blockhead Party and Has Never Come Close To Winning a Seat Party. :p

Argh! That was me. LJ expired my cookies for 'maintenance'.

Hey, at least they had decent hours for voting this year! The way they had it scheduled last time, you could only vote if you didn't work that day, or the day of the advance polls. Not a fix, not a fix at all, I'm sure...

That's messed up.

They had all the students going to the same polling station. And most of us had to re-register because we were all registered in our home ridings. Which meant half hour lines at a minimum.

That's just...special. Really, it is.

[yubsie]

Special is a good word for it
