Back Again

This is my first post in almost a year. Not a lot to write about. The most exciting thing here in Nova Scotia is the election of a socialist party, the NDP.

An NDP government should be interesting. They usually are very poor, however there are exceptions. I'm expecting a Gary Doer type of show here. He wasn't that bad, nothing like the Bob Rae disaster in Ontario. So far everything has been very predictable....first the same old story about how much badly things are than we thought thanks to the previous government. I like the fact he is eliminating the PST on electricity for people who heat with electricity. Only fair, as that is the case with oil.

Then we have the federal situation. The recession is ending, things are improving. Perhaps the Conservatives are doing something right. Hence the panicky behavior of the Liberals, who want to bring down the government before things get too much better. After all, for them it is all about power at any cost. Doesn't matter if an election costs hundreds of millions of dollars, or if Canadians don't want another one right now. This Ignatieff, a Harvard professor who spent well over 30 years in the USA.....most of his adult life really, a fellow who referred to the USA as "his country." What the hell is he back here for? Power. He doesn't look or act like a politician, and I suspect his loyalties are south of the border. I would really be surprised if he ever gets elected.
