Well, that turned out pretty much exactly how people were expecting it to, so I'm not surprised. I am pleased to see more NDP in parliament though: good for them! My riding went liberal, of course. I'm also glad to see a relatively high voter turnout. Yay!

Now, I am going to make a long-term prediction. I bet this government will last another two years. We know Paul Martin isn't coming back. I am making a bet that the liberal take this time to clean up,, or at least change their clothes and put on some fresh deodorant, and that Frank McKenna will be back in politics, at the head of the party and as PM of Canada, fresh back from the US with good connections to protect our interests there (or that's how they'll bill it). ten years on, and ten years off... it's like they planned it this way. And then the world will phear the power of... the Hustler!

edit: I'm not alone in my thinking. Frank Frank Frank!

I will say that although I'd vote for Frank again in a second, I'm not sure I would vote Liberal, necessarily. It would depend on a bunch of things. Of course, depending on what happens between now and then, I may or may not even be able to vote. Depends on when it is called, and where I've been living :/

Yeah, I watched the election last night and did dick all else. This morning, I've spent my time, after telling myself I was going to get up early to work on school, reading various election commentary including watching all the online Rick Mercer Report clips from last night). Since I have game tomorrow, this is rally my last day to work on my presentation. Well, I think I'll go to Eller, in the hopes that I can make myself do more work there. Also, lunch = good thing.

Well, I dropped the ball on that one :p

Yesterday I was supposed to go to two meetings - one about the program, and one about my finances. Somehow they just both completely slipped my mind o-O. Probably for the best, or I'd have gotten absolutely nothing done yesterday :p I do need to reschedule one of them, though. It is unlike me to completely forget *all* my major engagements for the day. I almost forgot to go to class. I blame the election. *sigh*

ETA: Okay, I guess I only missed one meeting, at least. I can reschedule, so all is well. I hope o_O

The Toronto Star evaluates Harper's options in regards to McKenna as a potential rival.

The Calgary Sun states that McKenna is waiting to see whether or not he's keeping his job before deciding whether or not to run.

I wonder what Harper is going to do... Frankie's just an all around dangerous guy for him at the moment :o

I wouldn't put it past him to run even if he doesn't get ousted ;)

I was just reminded that I am half tempted to out together a soundtrack for eller house. so far I've got:

Richards - Men at Work - I Come from A Land Down Under
Rogers - Sisters of Mercy - When You Don't See me
Babits - John Renbourn Group - Ye Mariners All
Stewart - Zombina and the Skeletones - To the Grave and Beyond
Frank - ? - ?
Karen - Devo - Whip It
Eller - Suicide is Painless? Masochism Tango? Weird' Al's One More Minute? Wait's 'Misery's the River of the world' (maritime themed ;)


I should give Eller a song for itself. and maybe some other songs. Songs about the Love that Dare Not Speak Its Name ;D
