slippery slopes seduced

The Leaders' Debate. English. Act 2. Scene 1.

• Martin's empty, shallow, hollow, apologies for the scandals are just hot air escaping and contributing to global warming.


• Duceppe has my total and utmost respect, IF he shakes that disease of separation.


• In the Commutopia envisioned by Layton, will everyone be required to grow a moustache?


• Prime Minister: don't piss us off, you'll likely rule with a minority and we're tired of taking your political b.s.


• Harper has yet to annoy me. People in Ontario need to do one of two things to achieve non-annoyance status with Harper:
  1. Move to Alberta.
  2. Smoke some BC bud.

Seriously, I could have edited that debate down from 2 hours to about 17 minutes. And that would be stretching it. All of them keep repeating themselves over and over and over and over and over and over. It's slightly past redundant.

If they can all keep their heads above water for the next two weeks, avoid all in-party unpleasantries, I would be willing to make the following predictions:

• This will be a minority government.


• The BQ will gain seats.


• The NDP will gain seats.


• The Conservatives will gain seats.


• The Liberals will lose seats.

And that is the extent of my prediction.

For an interactive map of the outcome of the last election, visit The Atlas of Canada. It is colour coded by party and riding. Very useful in making ill-informed predictions, like the one noted above.


Oh yeah, Goodale ought to lose his seat. And I can only hope that Edmontonians do not send McLellan back. That whiny bitch drives me crazy! She's more of an embarrassment to Canada than Martin. It's like the voice of the teacher in Peanuts, but at a higher pitch that's nearly enough to cut diamonds.

Even in a comatose state, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon is far more effective at leading his country than Paul Martin ever has been.
