Aughhh what an infuriating
election. I have the curious feeling of being buffeted about by an unseen wind. I'm no american
citizen, but..
well, as my friend puts it, to paraphrase: god help us if bush gets in. the governer of the most polluted state suddenly in charge of the nation that makes or breaks almost every
environmental treaty? god help the earth.
with such a close call, I guess it'll be a
president walking on eggshells either way, but
oy. I want
gore to win. I remember in
1988 feeling the same for
Michael Dukakis. I wanted the duke to win. Only I was 8 then and I didn't understand why I felt that way. Now I'm 20 and for the first time
enfranchised in my own country, and oh wow.. I care about
politics, don't I? What a strange
revelation.
I'm voting
NDP.
libby davies, the
MP in my riding, rocks the house. or at least, bothers to speak up about health care in the house.
Everyone is holding their breath in canada. Our own election is frozen in time. The
cbc mumbles halfheartedly about some idiot thing
Day said about
abortion, but no one's listening.. yet.
I keep drifting off at work, staring in to my
poppy pin. that's a canadian thing. I'm a canadian. that's how simple the world works, hey? hey..
hey.
Hee, dad just asked "So, if there's a tie, do they get a Gushing Bore in office?"
