What a giant waste of time and money. The fewest people ever in the history of Canada re-elected The Conservatives to another minority government. Oh well, at least Mayencourt didn't win.

B.C. voters snub Dion's carbon tax , just so they can turn around in a couple of months and give a resounding "yes" to Campbell's carbon tax.

Marijuana candidate listed as 'radical' on ballot. Dude, that is so rad.

Dion Done. Who's next? Rae? Dosanjh? A Dosanjh-Rae alliance?

Blog Action Day. "Today thousands of bloggers will unite to discuss a single issue - poverty. We aim to raise awareness, initiate action and to shake the web!" I'm so sick of raising awareness. Raise the rates!

Homeless have right to shelter. I suspect camping will be a big event in 2010.

Olympic village in line for £1bn taxpayer bail-out. Yes, you read that correctly. Pounds. Riot 2012?

Mayencourt smokes. I love that he's one of those smokers who tries to hide it from people. I mean, I rode the Bowen Island ferry home one time and he smoked the whole way home, but you never see him smoke around town do you? He knows he shouldn't, but he smokes.

He also burgles turds. I know that because he burgles them from a friend's horse stable to mix into his soil for his garden. I guess since the friend *lets* him do this it's not strictly turd burgling, but still....it's not like he asks permission *every* time, and it's not like he pays for turds.

Hmph! I like Dion! I think he's getting crapped on for suggesting that Canada take a little responsibility for our polluting ways...most of that 'responsibility' would fall on the shoulders of corporate interests that pollute far more than the average citizen. I always found him incredibly charismatic and endearing. I saw Ignatieff interviewed on the cbc election coverage and he was downright rude to the interviewer. So rudeness is charisma now? I'd hate to see the Liberals abandon their Carbon Tax...they're the only major party to support it...that's a big step for politics & environment IMHO! I can see the Liberals scrapping it altogether though to win back their dumb voters who failed to understand it. Oy Vey Canada....Oy Vey!
