  • Election Night

    Been watching the election coverage all evening.  So depressing.  I mean, I’m trying to look on the bright side – at least it wasn’t a majority for Evil Stephen Harper.  And the polls were pretty clear that the Evil Conservatives were going to form the government, so I don’t know why I was holding out […]

  • The Candidates of Vancouver Quadra

  • Science and the Election

    Note: This blog posting is going to be a long one. I’ve been writing it for days. But it’s so worth the read, if you are interested in science, education, the Canadian election, or hearing my ongoing rants about the Conservative* party. Today Yesterday The other day, I read this story on the CBC: Researchers […]

  • Why Do Americans Have to Register To Vote Over a Month Ahead of their Election?

    I saw it mentioned on Evany’s blog that voters in Missouri have to register to vote by today, Oct 8, in order to vote in the November US presidential election.  I also noticed this in the celebrities-telling-people-to-vote video posted on Rebecca’s blog – if you don’t register to vote in the US presidential election by […]

  • Conservative Brochure #2 – Update

    As promised, I let the brochure of evil soak in vinegar1 – and not just overnight, but for a full 24 hrs! And you know what?  It didn’t look much different than before I put it in the vinegar!  But apparently the vinegar did some work on degrading the fibres of evil, of which this […]

  • So I got *another* Conservative brochure in the mail…

    … perhaps they heard that I no longer had the first one and felt that I needed another. This time, I figured I would burn it: Burn FAIL!  The damn brochure, which one would think was made of paper, wouldn’t burn. So I decided to try again, this time with a little help from our […]

  • The best line in the English federal leaders’ debate…

    … goes to Jack Layton for saying to Stephen Harper: “Where’s the platform, under the sweater1?” Is anyone else dismayed by the fact that Harper has not issued his party platform? How, exactly, can you run an election campaign without letting the public know what your plan is?  Even more mind-boggling than that is: polls […]

  • The Canadian Federal Election 2008

    As the election1 approaches, I’m starting to get a little frightened. Polls are suggesting we may end up with a Conservative* majority. George Strombo invited all the party leaders to be interviewed on his show, The Hour.  Not surprisingly, Stephen Harper has REFUSED to go on the show.  Harper appears to be frightened by the […]
