Debate Performance

I hate to say it, but that's it. Harper did OK, Martin looked desperate (get rid of the notwithstanding clause because you're nine points back?!?), Layton and Duceppe were powerless (unfortunately).

Unless the Liberals pull a trick out of their hat (and I think they're all out), we're looking at a Conservative minority or maybe even a majority in two weeks.

Goodbye tax cut for the poor, goodbye child care, goodbye my marriage (he says I can keep mine, but no new ones - ha!). It has to happen for the Liberals to renew themselves, but it's still shitty.

And by minority, I meant majority. I can deal with a minority. (Well, so long as Parliament is dissolved in six months.)

The next election won't be until mid-2007 at the earliest. Another election really fast would make people very angry ($265M a pop!)

Though, in the highly unlikely event of a Tory collapse almost immediately, the GG would probably ask the Liberals to give it a go.
