"we'll have a rainy day parade"

so. went to sleep with a conservative minority government. woke up with a conservative minority government. arrived at work with a conservative minority government. read that p.martin resigned because he lost to the conservative minority government. note: dont canadians want a leader who stands up after having lost and continues to fight for what he and his party believe in and protect canada from the possible demise at the hands of the aforementioned conservative minority government? i sure do. but. i also went to sleep with a riding who voted an ndp mp in a consecutive manner. again. we are ndp both federally and provincially. again. and that mp, nathan cullen, got 48.5% of the votes in the riding. a sizeable lead on the conservative candidate. he swept up votes in both urban centres and first nations communities. the ndp office was abuzz at 6pm. i sure had fun calling people reminding them they still had 55 minutes to get out there and vote! while the conservative office was dead. im not looking forward to going to sleep with a conservative government. but. im somewhat please. downright ecstatic in fact. that when i do get to the point of trying to start the lgbtq centre in terrace the people i get to allign myself with are pro-queer. rather than the conservative fucker who said, "no one in this riding wanted gay marriage." i sure did.
