Arrgghhh!

I seem to somehow be living in a country that has just elected a Conservative majority.

What the hell, people? I mean, just what the hell? The Conservatives lying, being in contempt of Parliament, not allowing anyone but the party faithful from attending rallies, and just generally doing heinous thing after heinous thing wasn't enough proof that their unworthy of holding seats, let alone ruling the bloody country?

At least my riding, and most of downtown Toronto, went firmly NDP.

I shall be spending the next four years with my head down.

Ahhh, democracy isn't always fun, is it? But there is hope: a couple of weeks ago one of our most conservative federal states voted green. It was the reaction to a "let's build the biggest useless train station ever and destroy the old (and perfectly suitable station) and half of the city centre" in this state's capital and the catastrophe in Fukushima. There is hope. Really. *nods*

There's always reason to hope. And really, no one expected the NDP (our socialist party) to get as many votes as they did, so it wasn't all bad news.
