Election Wrap: It’s Like Buckley’s
I think this hour has 22 Minutes had the best “send up” of the Tories, which showed people acting like they had just taken Buckley’s Mixture, but they were in fact in a voting booth, choosing a Tory Candidate. That is just classic!
What does this mean? Means another minority government, mostly imasculated will pass a few little tidbits from their platform, and get turfed in 2 years or so (unless Paul Martin pulls a Pierre Trudeau, and cuts the legs out from under Harper in a Machiavelian fashion). The government will continue to function by shear momentum, agencies will put together their yearly plans, and life will go on.
Am I upset, happy or indifferent about this turn of events? Apathetic really, don’t care right now, I’ll wait to see what this really means in the next few months.

I’m ashamed to say I voted for the Marijuana Party candidate in our riding. Had he been the winner, about the same amount would have been achieved AND everyone would be smiling!

Sorry but that attitude is why we are in a mess. Canada is a Banana Republic.

That’s an interesting point about the Buckley’s syrup … it’s a clever caricature.
On a related note, I was surprised to see Solberg wasn’t given Finance, nor Day given Foreign Affairs, when they each were the critics on these issues when the CPC was in opposition. As Peter Mackay himself said, he’s going to work overtime to get familiar with Foreign Affairs; Stockwell Day already was familiar with them.
Thanks for the Carnival of Centrism submission. Yours is the first :). The carnival is supposed to go up Sundays, but we’re probably going to wait a bit longer for a few more submissions.
