Michaelle Jean's role.

Coalition Government

The Torries (G.O.P) received the largest percentage of the Canadian vote 40%. Their elected leader Steven Harper became the prime minister in October. The other three parties are upset with some "Camel straw-back tactics" and propose to take their combined total of the votes 60% ,and start a new government.

.

Holy Crap! The Bloc, separatists get a nice slice of pie. The NDP (commies) get 25%. The Liberals support their green man, Mr.Dion to become the new PM.

.

Exciting movements and race and gender were not an issue. Well the Torries were accused of attacking the rights of women. We don't have a "race card", we have a cultural anti-french card, but that is only because they want to break-up with us. Then again those threats have gotten them a lot of federal dollars.

.

Are the ministers going to pull us together or tear us apart?

"Opposition parties blasted the Tories for... using tumultuous times to try to push through ideologically-driven measures they said attacked women and public servants". ?? Economic issues??

.

Hmm public servants, what like public school teachers, or postal workers... Well not exactly Canada has 200 departments of bureaucrats and perhaps those offices are feeling the "Crunch of industry business failure, albeit through the long faces and paper cuts and noisy telephones".

.

There are a total of 308 seats. The Torries fell short of the 155 needed to have a majority government, able to efficiently push bills thru the house. With 77 Liberal MPs and 37 New Democrats, plus the support of 49 Bloc members(60 %) the three parties have more seats than the 143 held by the Tories. .

Here oil, come here oil!

Inlets in Taiwan, Ice lets in Canada.

The search for oil, and threats of military presence.

Monday Nights Game

The title says "He did it on purpose!"
I am looking for more info because the 5th grade is confessing to throwing trash at the Canadian team. I only caught the 9th and 10th innings. I checked the Taipei Times. It said after making contact with the taiwanese catcher the Canadian was out. In celebration the catcher threw the ball up and it hit the Canadian on the helmet... which led to both benches clearing.

click the title for the link to the Taipei times article.
