Montreal II Party and hopefully a Setlist Watch

[ladywithspinninghead]

So what happened with Martin?

Besides pissing Bono off .

*is totally ignorant about Canadian politics*

Well we have a minority government so it wasn't bound to last long anyway.

The opposition took advantage of the recent release of the Gomery Report -basically implicating our former Prime Minister and other top Liberal ministers in a corruption scandal - to hold a no-confidence vote in Parliament tonight. Looks like it passed and an election will be held in January.

A lot of people think this might come back to bite the opposition in the butt because there's going to be an election campaign over the Christmas holidays

Unlike the U.S. where the campaigning season lasts well over a year, here in Canada it lasts 30 (Parliamentary) days (1.5 months in this case).

I remember the last time you guys talked about him, I thought you were talking about George Stephanapolus (sp?).

I remember that! You said you were a fan.

 

[sue4u2]

Stephanapolous?

Don't piss him off either.. He also knows "people"

Obviously, they played Vertigo and Elevation after COBL, but I'm a little concerned by the lack of updates from zootopia. Their source may not be a speedy one.

Ah, so it's official now? (just woke up)

I bet he'll say something similar to Sat. night's show where Bono talked about the upcoming elections (it was already a given by that point) and said that we needed to make extreme poverty eradication in Africa a priority in the elections and then proceeds to show the phone numbers for Paul Martin (which got booed), Stephen Harper, Jack Layton and Gilles Duceppe (which, to my dismay, got the loud cheers from the audience).

Nice touch to have the Universal Declaration scrolling in French by the way

Cheers for Duceppe?

Yeah, it's official *sigh* I think it was official Fri, but I'm not sure.

well, I'll just use my conch shell to assemble my crew and Bono

and he'll melt Stephfgjkdfhglkdjg to what they used in Tara Reid's boobjob

And so does the person above too! Too funny!

No, no, this is a homegrown Canadian, not Clinton's former senior advisor.

If Stephen Harper becomes PM, I'm moving.

*snerk* You know you're in trouble when Ralph Klein says you're leading the party too far to the right Harper won't get Ontario, we suffered Mike Harris too long

NOOOOOO they are playing Electric Co.........

God, I hope not. Stephen Harper is one massive accident waiting to happen. I also do not appreciate his Lego man hair.

God no!! Harper's basically Dumbya Lite with a brain, there's no way we'd be moving south
