I so don't understand the whole Canadian voting thing. I really don't. I don't want to vote for some hillbilly MP - I want to vote for the leader. Like, seriously, it doesn't even matter who the fuck I vote for anyway, because Saskatchewan has like, what, a dozen ridings? Whooooooo, we can change the fucking nation. Even if I could somehow get out there and convince every other sad sack in this province to vote for the frigging Marijuana Party or some other such freak thing, we would never be changing the nation. No, we'd be a sidebar in the election coverage: "This is Lloyd Robertson. Saskatchewan has been sweeped by the Ganja Party! Now, on to Quebec, where it really matters."
Like seriously, we could all vote for the Lesbian Midgets Party, and it would mean nothing. But in Quebec, well, they vote to become their little Island of cheese eaters, and it effects everyone. Like tonight, they were going on and on that if Harper wanted a majority, he'd have to win seats in Quebec, because apparently every fucking poutine stand is it's own vote rich riding. But since they couldn't win those, Old Harpie didn't get his majority. Well fuck me up the ass with a chainsaw, but it annoys me that they decide who we get because they have so many seats. Honest to God, where the hell is reform for voters? And they are talking about some candidate in Quebec tonight and they mention that he is immensely popular there because he is on some French Soap Opera. WTF? This is Canada? I don't think so. And you know, in theory, I am all about the Liberals on paper. But since they wouldn't cross the street to piss on anyone out west if they were on fire, since all the important votes for them are in seat rich Ontario and Quebec, well, fuck em. But then that means I am stuck voting NDP, which I do believe in but I know will never form a government federally, so I feel like I am just throwing the fucking vote away. I am just so disillusioned.
OK, rant over. At least Harper didn't get a majority. I would rather give my vote to Screech from Saved By the Bell than to that phony evil hair-helmuted wisenheimer.
So anyway. I am so frigging tired. We just spent 4 days in Edmonton. I post on that later. Just had to rant about the election. now I must be on my quest to find a wii for xmas. wish me luck!
