Posted a few days late because WP was acting up.
A couple of musings after watching about ten minutes of the French debate–closing statements and random “oh, let’s see what they’re talking about” moments (politics isn’t my favourite thing in the world):
- Why does the Bloc Québécois even exist? Yeah, yeah, to speak for Québec, to promote sovereignty, yadda yadda yadda. But it can never form a majority government, and even if it won all the seats it could and formed a minority government, what would it do? Declare immediate separation? Dunno if the 50%+1 who voted non in the last referendum would like that.
- New thing I learned: Paul Martin is Québécois? QUOI?! Not only that, he’s got Métis ancestry? Double QUOI?!
- Yes, Steven Harper, we know that French is not your first language. Thanks for clumsily bringing it to our attention again. Also, you’re still scary.
- The subjunctive, Mr. Layton, the subjunctive!
Ahhh, my mouse is slowly dying on me. It keeps double-clicking when I only mean to single-click. And the volume down button on my mp3 player doesn’t work anymore. 🙁
