Resolutions and Screw this Election, I'm NOT coming home.
Hello, flee in terror for I am posting!
Have a vague set of resolutions worked out. Things that I really didn't want to scrap may get scrapped though. Among things that I will not be able to do but thought about, it includes: Getting into Photography, getting back into Sketching, and/or getting back into Swimming.
I have to study more, which is weird considering I am out of school. I am trying hard to stop slacking on the language learning - and use the books I bought to continue improving before I started slacking. One of the resolutions is to take the test (need to make sure I focus on grammar as well as kanji this time... learning to read FAST would be wise as well). Try to stay in shape/build some muscle (although I don't think I'll join a gym), possibly pick up a martial art if my financial situation improves (which it will in a few months), as there's a veeery reputable Aikido dojo quite close to my apartment.
There are other things I plan to be studying as well, though I am at a bit of a loss of how to go about it. I need to figure out what to drop, because I can only handle so much.
Plans to "take over the office" are progressing, albeit with delays.
*holds up approved application for extension of permission of residence (it should be 3-years' extension, I have yet to actually pick it up and confirm that, they've just told me "OK, come and get it, it's ready")*PISS OFF, HARPER!I won't be caught dead in a country lead by you. The fact that you run a country with absolutely ZERO support in the 3 areas of the country that actually matter, is a joke that shows how blatantly flawed the voting system truly is!
This law is needed: Must have support from 3 big cities to form a federal government.
2001, 79.4% of Canadians lived in an urban centre of 10 000 people or more, compared with 78.5% in 1996. Outside the urban centres, the population of rural and small-town areas declined 0.4%.
In 2001, just over 64% of the nation's population, or about 19 297 000 people, lived in the 27 census metropolitan areas (CMAs), up slightly from 63% in 1996. Seven of these 27 CMAs saw their populations grow at a rate of at least double the national average of 4%.
Just barely shy of 2/3rds of the country is urban but the election is decided by whoop-whoop. A vote in Toronto is worth less than 1/4th of that of other areas of the country but this is not reflected in the house. Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal own this country, not Alberta; the 51st State. There's a good reason for Western Alienation; Ralph Klein, Stockwell Day, other Neo-cons and everybody who agrees with them.
Hopefully my country doesn't get destroyed in a minority government, and hopefully Harper's minority will bump Martin's off the list of 5 shortest serving PM terms in Canadian History (Martin's sits at 5th currently).
