Democracy would be more awesome if everyone agreed with me
Yesterday was the federal election here in Canada. And apparently people here are idiots and don't think Stephen Harper has done quite enough damage to the country because he's been elected Prime Minister a second time, this time around with a majority government. Hurray, that's just what we needed. Harper with even more excuses to indulge in his insane ego and ignore everything being said by the other parties and by the Canadian people. I haven't been this upset over politics since the second time Bush was elected US president.
Yup, so last night after it became clear the Conservatives had achieved a majority government, I turned off the tv and delved into a world full of ice cream and My Little Pony. It's a temporary balm, though, so maybe that's what I should have for breakfast, too.
I've been ranting for two days, and the husband commented if I followed politics more closely outside of election time, there'd be a whole lot more ranty in my house. Which is actually why I don't follow politics as a general rule. I don't need to make myself unhappy all the time, do I?
