Some days, when I’m not writing about Miniature Popes and Singing Peas I look at the Google News Page for inspiration; I’d like to write more about Canadian Politics but it’s far too dull and I simly can’t get excited about it.
For Example: Dion sensing mood for an election
I hoped initially that this was going to be about Celine Dion and quietly replaced all of the references to Stephan to Celine in my head; thus:
OTTAWA–Canadians are increasingly in the mood for a federal election this fall, says Singer Celine Dion.
“More than before,” Celine Dion said yesterday when asked what he was hearing on the road about voters’ desire to go to the polls. “We have seen over the winter and the spring, more and more interest for federal politics and more and more appetite for an election.”
But it may be another election – the U.S. presidential contest – that will also help the Liberals in any electoral battle here, Celine Dion says.
Now we’re getting somewhere; you can actually imagine that animate skelton crooning these lines out on stage, butchering the English language while she belts it out. That would make the whole idea of anyone named “Dion” running for Prime Minister that much more exciting. He’s just not that much of a character. Which is a detriment in politics (if one was to ask me).
Stephen Harper angries up my blood when he ISN’T the prime minister because he gets to say and do outrageous crap. As Prime Minister, he has his cabinet to do that for him. Sure, he has a shocking lack of humanity and the look of a “true believer” that is equal parts unnerving and creepy; but let’s face it being in the public eye has really mellowed him. He’s no George Bush Jr. He’s George Bush Juniors monkey.
More Boring Canadian Politics
Published by NiteMayr on July 28, 2008Stephane Dion continues to play coy rather than stating the facts. Things aren’t bad enough to call an election, when things are good people vote for incumbents. In this case “The Tories”. If Stephane would just drop the act and state that he knows there is no point in calling an election; as his team would just lose. The general populace is nothing if not forgetful, the years of peace and prosperity under the Liberals are too easy forgotten it seems; lost in the dust of minor controversy.
