  2. Come on Matt, you know it’s only the Torries that can’t help but be political when it comes to stuff like this. The NDP are a pure and noble breed of people.

    Also, this article is hilarious. Niel Macdonald, Dear neighbour, about what’s going on in Canada:

    Except for not being elected, a governor general is a lot like your vice-president. Sort of ceremonial. Our governors general travel a lot, cut ribbons, declare holidays for school kids and try to set a good example.

    The current office holder, Michaëlle Jean, used to be a CBC reporter. Like me.

    Actually, the one before her was once a CBC reporter, too. So were two others in the recent past. In our country, any CBC reporter can dream of becoming head of state.

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
