*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 think most politicians were waiting for this for a VERY long time. The sponsorship scandal gave it to them. "We need something to get these assholes on... wait, what's this? The sponsorship program is dirty? Well, this is it! Let's get them! Wait, you mean it's in Quebec? A Bloc province? And the problem was caused by Chretien? Who cares!? WE CAN TAKE DOWN THE LIBERALS!"

And the Tories sqwaked. And sqwaked. Sqwaked some more. And kept it up, until the rest of the country started believing them. Do this for a ocuple years, and you have a political climate that rivals America's for sheer mudslinging, and dirt.

Most of my profs seem to think that this government might actually last its whole term (unless Harper is a dumbass and makes abortion a confidence issue or something) because people just don't want another election.

LOL, your welcome.

A better way to repay me would be for you and Snippy to come to C4 next year. :-p ;-)

And QFT - I thought it meant "quite fucking true", LOL!
