Hello? Where'd The Blogger go? ;-)

September 2005?

O.K. I guess I have been a little lax in posting, not a good start to blogging...

If I ever want the traffic of Michelle Malkin or Captains Quarters blog, I'll
have to do better than this. ;-)

Well, we have new government here in The Great White North.
Unfortunately, only a minority, this presents some issues.

For starters, the government will have to kiis opposition a** in order
to get anything done, and since the party which holds the balance of
power is a left leaning party with dreams of a socialist dictatorship
(the NDP) - accomplishing change in the house of commons will be
difficult if not impossible.

My wish list:

1) Supreme court - currently appointed by the Prime Minsiter, no one
else has a say. I would like to see the house have the final say...
PM nominates a candidate, who then MUST BE VETTED by the
house.

2) Senate - reform this joke. Make it elected. Elected by the people of
Canada the way it should be. Currently, it is the same as the Supreme
Court - political friends of the PM usually wind up in the upper house,
and being a senator is about as cushy a post as you can get, it's for
life, and there is almost no way to get rid of a bad one.

3) Riding reform, lets spread the seats out a little eh? Time Toronto
had leetle less say in who runs the government.

That's all for now, I may add to this later....
