Thoughts on a possible coalition

There's been a lot of talk about the possiblity of the Liberals, NDP, and the Bloc Quebecois to work out some sort of deal to wrest government from the party that actually won the last election. Sure it was a minority, but no one can dispute that they secured a stronger mandate from the people. That the opposition is so eager to chage the political atmostphere so quickly after an election campaign a little more than a month ago is, in a word, disgusting.

I could write or rant (wrant?) a great deal on the subject but they say a picture is worth a thousand words. Those opposition politicians who think that a coalition is a good idea can look here. I apologize in advance to those with sensitive eyes.

Extremely Unwanted UPDATE: This is absolute garbage. I sincerely hope that the Canadian public will not be fooled and see this for the power grab that it really is. You opposition usurpers can go to hell!

'The Spirit of Christmas' indeed...

A story like this just makes me irate. That this overly fetive crowd couldn't be bothered to wait while officials dealt with the matter is abolutely despicable. There is no excuse for behavior like this, in my book. A definite sign that the commercialization of Christmas has gone too far... and all to likely save a few bucks. Shameful.

The state of education...

As a teacher, I have somewhat of a vested interest in ensuring that my students are prepared for the challenges of the future. However, I find that more and more, these kids are not being challenged in a way that will really do that. It makes me more than just a little nervous that in a few years, we'll recognize the problem and have a a real struggle on our hands as we try to restore a more acceptable standard of excellence.

I read this article in the Post the other day. Quite enjoyed it. See for yourself.

Election Shenanigans

While the big election might be over, this is still pretty funny.
