Canada goes to the polls

As you may have heard, Canada's Federal government fell on Monday, and we are going to have an election in January. I do not plan on spending much time thinking of this. It is the holy season of Advent, and to be distracted by the unholy world of politics would not be good for me. There are already enough distractions, like Christmas shopping and arranging complicated "what relatives to visit when" plans.

I did see something that made me laugh, however - someone wrote somewhere that the contest in Canada is deeply depressing. Our choice - we can vote for the crooks, the commies, the traitors, or Stephen Dubya Bush! :-)
