Since Monday is election day up here, I figured this would be a good article to link to. The Guelph Tribune has been asking a series of questions to all the candidates about what they would do about this or that if elected. Their final question was “What will you personally bring to the table …

A Song For Michael Sona
Oh me oh my we’re goofs. You’ll know why very shortly. Steve and I were just sort of standing around talking, when suddenly one of us started singing “My Sharona.” Then the other said “Hey! There’s a parody of that song in there, only all about Michael Sona.” You know who Michael Sona is, right? …
We Just Voted. You Should Go Do That
Carin and I just got back from doing the voting at the local returning office thing for the first time. We missed the advanced polling days and voting on election day as a blind person in our experience nearly never ends well, so returning office it was. The process is easy. Just go in, tell …
Voting At Returning Offices: You Only Have Until Tomorrow
A while ago, when I found out I could vote at the returning office, I thought you could vote every day right up to May 2. I have since discovered I was wrong. I got this feeling in my gut that I should check and make sure I could vote any day, so called Elections …

Are You There Marty? It’s Me, Guelph
When Marty Burke makes a public statement, you can usually count on hearing a couple of things. One is his version of the amazing ability of the Conservatives to turn any conversation into a misleading diatribe on coalitions, and the other is how much talking he does with the people of Guelph. According to him, …
When Raffi Says It, Ya Just Gotta Do It!
Wow. Everybody’s getting involved in this election, even Raffi! He even wrote a new verse to all us grown up belugas out there. Cute. Who knows what’ll make someone vote, so good on Raffi.
Say Cheese, Michael Sona!
Well, all that stuff about Michael Sona trying to deflect questions about him being at the polling station at the university? Good luck with that deflecting now. There he is, in photos. None of the photos show him grabbing for a ballot box, but he tried to make people think he wasn’t even there. Well, …
Let Elizabeth May Speak
Yeah, remember what I said about being done with elections? Not so much. I forgot about this. Steve has yelled about Elizabeth May being excluded from the debates before. Funny how that wasn’t even 3 goddamn years ago. Anyway, that time, she got in. This time, she was not invited once again, and when she …
More Election-Related Things
Let’s just keep the election bandwagon rolling. I have a feeling after this post, I’m going to write about a dumbass, but hey, for now, the election train continues. Brooke over at Ruled By Paws told me about a site with a funny name but a serious message. If you want to quickly see things …
Thanks Elections Canada
This sucks. I was so happy yesterday when the votes counted at U of G. Now, I’m mad all over again. Because of that mess, Elections Canada has banned all special ballot stations at universities because another one *might* cause a similar problem. Give me a break. Just, give me a break. Everybody who cares …
