Thoughts On Canadian Debates, Our City And La Belle Province's Bloated Education Bureaucracy

-I didn't see this last night during the debate but Liberal leader Stephane Dion introduced a new plan to "deal" with the "pending" economic crisis coming to Canada within 30 days of coming into office. You know, because it's inevitable. What little positive impression he left on me has been squandered. Please. 30-day plan do deal with the economy. This makes about as much sense as a 3-day plan to fix up the public health system. This is the problem with the Liberals. In their attempts to form a government they begin to get all wackily jackily with their promises.

-"56 milliards de surplus et riens pour les chomeurs."

There's a sign scattered and littered around town with a family of three with the above caption.

The crux of the translation? The government is running a surplus and has the audacity to not give any to those on welfare.

I had to do a doubletake on this one. I almost slam into another car.

- The cops are protesting about something. One of their tactics is to wear camouflage pants. Already I don't approve of these tactics that leave them looking silly and unprofessional. Imagine what I thought when I saw one police officer wearing long johns under his cargo shorts.

-Apparently, the Ministry of Education in Quebec has more employees than all the other ministries in the Confederation combined.

Doesn't surprise me one iota. L'etat c'est moi is Quebec.
