Well, that whole thing right there was pretty pointless I’d say. Let’s take a look at what happened. Stephen Harper and the Conservatives won a minority government, just like last time. It’s a slightly stronger one, but a minority is still a minority. The Liberals have a leader in Stéphane Dion who whether he’s admitting …

Your Last Reminder And Some Other Somewhat Related Crap
I mentioned it yesterday, but it never hurts to say it again. Canadians, there are only a few hours left. If you haven’t done so already, go vote, for Christ’s sake! Seriously, don’t make me yell at you again. Consider this. If Carin and I were willing to possibly get lost in the middle of …

>Happy Holiday Monday
>Hey. I figured I’d better take a break from drinking in the sun and pop in and say hello and happy Thanksgiving to everybody. Yes my American friends who I know make up a majority of our site visitors, today is Thanksgiving. It’s real Thanksgiving, meaning the Canadian version, not that wacky November thing y’all …
The Conservative Craziness Continues
Oh boy. the craziness continues. Now, people are not only vandalizing people’s homes and cutting their brake lines for having liberal signs, they’re now phoning people and threatening them. What is wrong with people? Just vote for who you vote for and be done with it.
My Letter Got In!
Under the post about the debates being after the advance polls, we said we were going to write letters to the editor. Well, mine got in! Here’s what I said. Dear Editor – I note something distressing about the timing of the televised federal election debate of Guelph candidates. The date is next Tuesday, Oct. …
Conservative Crazies
Wow, we have some serious wackjobs at work. Apparently, over the weekend, people in Toronto who had liberal signs up on their lawns had their houses sprayed, their brakes tampered with, and their phone and cable lines cut! It wasn’t just a few. It’s happened all over the city, and apparently, it happened in Guelph …
Get To Know Your Candidates…A Day Late
Carin just brought to my attention a boneheaded bit of election scheduling. I sent her a quick note to let her know that our local all candidates debatewill be on Rogers Television Tuesday October 7th at 7 PM.She’s got a better memory than I do and she kind of serves as my pocket organizer, so …
Stop It!
I’ve only readone storyabout strategic voting this election season, and I’ve already had enough of them. I’m positive we’ve covered this before, but apparently it needs repeating, so here goes. There is no such thing as a wasted vote. Every vote, unless you find yourself voting in a rigged election like the ones found in …
Apologies, Elections, Wrestling And A Crazy Cake Lady. What More Could You Ask For?
Sorry it’s been such a slow week around here. Between Carin getting ready to go on her trip, me having some truly horrible nights of sleep and I think fighting off some kind of cold, and Matt being away at a gay bathhouse convention, the poor Comet has kind of been getting neglected. I’ve been …
Hi Ho, Hi Ho, It’s Off To The Polls We Go
Well, it looks like we’re off to the polls on October 14. Just dandy. When the choices aren’t super great, it kinda sucks to be back at the polls. Out of this whole article, there is one sentence that just keeps rattling and knocking around in my head. When asked about what the outcome might …
