That's All She Writ
Just in case anyone is (God forbid) relying on me for news, it's official: the 38th Parliament is kaput. The writ was dropped this morning, just as I arrived at my public affairs tutorial to do a presentation on the power of the PM and how Martin should/may organize his bureaucracy. Irony! In an historic first, I actually agree with Klein: I'm thinking another Liberal minority. However, everyone will have plenty of time to trip over themselves, so really the winner will simply be whichever party can shove its respective demons the furthest under the rug. The CPC seems serially incapable of breaking through in Ontario and their polling numbers in Quebec are absolutely pitiful. This morning the CBC had the Conservatives pegged at 7% in Quebec, behind the NDP's 8%.
To relive the good times, here is a little humour I found through the Calgary Grit. "And everybody's all, "Dude, that sucks! Halifax is like so far away."
To continue the gadfly theme of this post, Katherine and I think it's hilarious that Gilles Duceppe isn't even bothering to go to Quebec this morning. Nay, he is in Ottawa, as if to say, "yeah, Ah'm at 50% in the only province that matters to me. You English-type MP persons can race out like heads-cut-off chickens, ben oui. Ah will sit 'ere with the C-PAC and watch the fun qui se deroule. Pork rinds, Marcel?"

Its so depressing eh? There are no stand out candidates that look as though they have a great plan and will be great for the country. Everyone is quick to smack Martin around, but really is there a really fantastic alternative available?
And people wonder why voter apathy is at an all time high...sigh...
Oh I was talking with the boys the other night and they were talking about some of us papm keeners beginning a new political party. I think we could do it. You want in Miss McClay? I think it would be great. And besides I don't think we could fuck up any worse than the generations of predecessors. We'd be brilliant, youthful and so willing to better the nation.
We should do it :D
That would be awesome. I think we should call ourselves APPA, for the Awesome People's Party of Awesomeness. "And what are your policies?" "Well, we have no concrete health care, social safety net, defense, environmental, or other plans. But we do intend to institute much more awesomeness. Possibly we will branch out into fantastitude as well."
hahahah I love it.
Justin (the papm wannabe lol)suggested "Just Left of Atillah the Hun" or JLAH for a catchy acronym.
But if we are serious, perhaps we better go with something a little more serious than APPA or JLAH...how about the DYDK...the Devil you Don't know?
We could run on the platform that we believe in equal opportunities and that it is high time that we were given an opportunity to mess up the nation. Why let all the old white men have all the fun?
hahahah
But in seriousness, I think we papmites (and other papm hopefuls) could do it and do it well. Wait til graduation: then we will take over the world :D
Okay enough crazy ranting on a blog that is not my own...I must go back to work :(
Much Love!
I would object to PAPMites ruling the world...maybe Canada...but not the world. see were all nice and bitter at politicians now, but give us some power...
