o' canada

i'd just like to stand up and applaud canadians in their combined efforts to appoint mr. stephen harper as new prime minister of our country. i hope those that voted for the tory win are still as excited about your decision in 12 months as you are now. ok leonard, enough with the sarcasm, cynicism and personal opinion....

interesting fact: according to elections canada, 64.9% (not including newly registered voters on election day) of eligible canadians voted in the federal election. where were the remaining 35.1% of you? here is one of the more interesting comments which i heard when asking if they voted or not:

"my guy won. that's five straight wins. until my guy loses,
i'm not voting."

however, this person did put in the effort to place bets on who was going to win.

for those of you that know me, you know that i'm not a very political person. in fact, i'm quite unlearnded when it comes to politics. however, i feel it is important to at least put in an effort to become familiar with the candidates to have a say in your countrys' future. it's really not that painful, or even time consuming.

i wish stephen harper the best of luck with his undertaking. this should be an interesting term(s)
