After today I'll go back to some theatre stuff, but we just had an expensive few weeks FOLKS!What a wonderful day it is! The government pretty much looks like it did yesterday except Canadian Taxpayers are out $300 Million dollars. OH JOY!
"Let’s call an Election against our law and spend $300 Million of tax payers money for basically the same results!" Thanks you bunch of morons. The only positive thing that might come out of this election is a new Liberal Leader…..I say groom Hottie Julian, but put Rae or Ignatif in there for a few years, until Trudeau Jr. is ready to rule. Oh come on, am I the only who wants to see a hottie in the PM’s hot seat???….yummy Julian….
So riddle me this: only 58% of Canadians voted yesterday (SHAME on you and you know who you are) , The Bloc got 10% of the vote in Canada, and The Greens got 6%, YET the Bloc get 50 seats and the Greens NOTHING…what is wrong with this picture.
Harper’s Conservatives (or I should say Reform party cause they are NOTHING like the old PC’s) got LESS votes this time around but got more seats! Harper received 168,737 less then the last election. Our system needs re-vamping for sure.
To be a really representative democracy we need to update our elector system to be a bit more reflective of the percentage of the popular vote. And here is what it would look like after last night if this were the case:
Party Proportional Seats
CON 116
LIB 81
BQ 31
NDP 56
IND 2
GRN 21
Elector reform is needed.
In the mean time, the Arts will suffer once again because Harper believes Ordinary Canadians don’t do Culture….I’m sorry last time I checked most “ordinary” Canadians I know read books, listen to their IPODS and watch TV…um I hate to tell you Stevie-boy but that would be CULTURE and The ARTS. Chump.
I found this lovely sarcastic comment on CBC.ca...enjoy - next week maybe i'll talk about Tototoo!

"I started voting Conservative in the election a few years ago. I think I am going to vote conservative from now on. Who cares about the future of the environment and the health of our children and there children? We won’t be around when they die of cancer and other pollution related disease. I buy two new cars every year so the cheaper GST helps me. It helps me a lot more then those lazy poor people who can’t even afford to buy things that GST is charged on. It helps the rich get richer and poor get poorer. THE WAY IT SHOULD BE. All there other tax credits and bonuses are just so wonderful! Like the 1200 dollar a year childcare credit. I know I can’t find a daycare anywhere, but my wife doesn’t work. Furthermore, in bad economic times the conservatives make it easier for foreign businesses to take over Canadian businesses. Canada doesn’t need to own their businesses. We should not aim to be self sufficient. Those foreign companies can use there own manufacturers in China and Canada will get more service industry jobs. Even the working class can’t complain, because service jobs are WAY more fun then working in a factory. Conservatives are for here and now, and everyone gets nice little tax breaks. Cleaning up the world is for another generation!"
LOL that's funny eh?
