I want one!!

Ok, OK I am JEALOUS! Watching the rise of Obama makes me slightly envious and a little annoyed at the lack of excitement in the Canadian landscape. Seriously, can you imagine 70,000 people going to watch Harper or Dion? NO WAY!


My little political secret is that the last time I was excited about Canadian politics was during the 1997 election when I volunteered for a local Liberal MP. I was the person who called you and asked if you were going to support the liberals and by the way do you need a drive? I was totally caught up in excitement and even managed to shake Chretien's hand at a rally. Contrary to popular opinion he was an awesome public speaker. I really, really, really miss those days.


Yuck, how did we get here anyways? All I feel nowadays is a persistent feeling of dread and the impending sense of doom brought on by repeated news of the heavy handed tactics of King Harper AKA Bush Lite.
