We Vote Tomorrow, Among Midterms. Yikes.

Heyyya everyone ^__^
*sigh* right, sorry! As usual, no updates for Months, hopefully not too many visits during this time...
So. We vote. Let us begin.
Here's a recent email sent to a few close relatives... I never do this... But Alas:
- we vote in a matter of hours! Yes, it's a Countdown

- The Canadian Election basically coincides with that of the UnitedStates of America
- Iraq, China, Iran, Israel, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Japan, India, Pakistan, Australia, Indonesia, The UK, Germany, Canada. (0)__(O)
- Petrol. A few billion barrels of it. We know.
- a few dozen Nuclear Power Plants, running on cartel U-92 and Pu-239 and maybe a Hundred Thousand rather thirsty Warplanes: stealth, multirole fighter bombers, wtv...)

- bloody spies! Nokia Users, might want to click that last link ;)
- This is all rather significant, so let's act accordingly, yeah?
=)
Here's that email, hope it makes you laugh, think, scratch your head at the particularities of Canadian Politics, wtv, enjoy:

So with the election being ah... Today n all, there's been so much talk lately about this and that, the Conservatives and their wierdo attitudes towards... Basically everything... Figured it might do to figure out, who should be considered when choosing wisely between the other 4 interesting parties... Well, Bloc's a bit.... Shall we say separatist... Or something rather along those lines... Here's some interesting perspectives, 1-2 mins each:


Unique display of Post-LiberalConservatism at the doorsteps of a certain Ottawa Court:

Well, maybe that happened under the Liberals? At what point did the situation begin to affect the Cons and Stop being caused by the Libs? We're not so sure...

One of the interesting topics that concern us recently are The Digital Millenium Copyright Act(s) and their versions and implications.
Coms are naturally importing a mildly edited version of what already exists down South... Someone's worst case scenario:

Here was one rather interesting response from one camp, Bill-C61 is an interesting creature indeed... Thanks Steve H:

Ok, so let's share fair... Most of us will be voting strategically, good stuff ^_^, it's sort of the point of democracy, isn't it?
Here's a fun little widget that most will find useful, works by plugging in your zipcode, it does the rest, on the right side of this page:

For the pundit lovers among us we have May vs a (Man Named Duffy:), here's that:

Also noticable, all this considered, is Liz May's position on a number of unique items...

So an interesting person though she is... Neither of us will be selling her a Laptop, a trip to Paris, a Hotel room, Coissant, Knee Brace, or anything else...
Anytime in the next 4 years if you want to be pedantic about it :P

That's it for now, relax and vote like ya mean it ; )
