GIP again

This may in fact redefine Gratuitous, as I am quite sure it comes as a shock to nobody.

So I'll toss in a quote. Admittedly, I'm recycling it from the last election, but it's still good.

"...the world doesn't care about our little federal election. In fact, there is only one time that the world cares about Canada. It is when some poor, desperate human beings become driven enough to pack up their family and look for a land where they will be safe from torture, oppression and racism and where they can prosper at whatever they do, be taken care of if they're sick, and educate their children to their full potential. When that day comes, then they care about Canada.

Be careful how you vote. You wouldn't want to let them down."

~~ Bob Robertson, from Double Exposure.

Hey! We like slash, we like the NDP; what else do we have in common? ;-)

I'm finally settled down with a bit more time (survived Christmas! Submitted to Lumos! Started teaching!) and looking forward to finding a time to meet you.

That's a good one. Unfortunately, Harper (and all of the Canadians who are voting for him) don't seem to care too much.

I wish they did.

Never surrender...

Or as Diefenbaker once said, "You know what dogs do with polls?"

Everybody says Canada is a hard country to govern, but nobody mentions that for some people it's a hard country to live in. Still, if we all run away, it will never be any better. So let the geniuses of easy virtue go southward; I know what they feel too well to blame them. But for some of us there is no choice; let Canada do what she will with us, we must stay.
