Awake, oh Nation in Mourning
Tuesday, January 24, 2006I can ponder how we got here, but I know the answer. The vote was a reactionary one, to the unfortunate scandal of the liberals. Like the U.S. reaction to Clinton, now look what has become of them. It may be temporary, and we can try and console ourselves with the fact that it is a minority government and our Senate is still Liberal, but I fear that once a change, how slow and slight it may initally be, the change, itself, is bad, a wind of evil intent has just blown in with the cold. I feel the dark curtain, our nation, the envy of civilized nations, has put a man in power in reaction to another. To the core, Canadains still hold the same values of acceptance and social responsibility that we held yesterday, we still want to preserve our health care and advance higher education, be an open and accepting society that does not engage or participate in unprovoked attacks on other nations. We are peacekeepers, friends of the environment and foremost friends of the world. What will the winds of change bring, how calm or strong might they be?...wait and see. But not too complacent, hold these fools accountable. My voice will be heard. I will not sit and watch. You will be watched very closely by this young Canadian, Mr.Harper. Don't fuck up our country.

Add salt to my wound; just pour it on there; dump the whole box; I turn to CNN and "Canada goes Conservative" is splashed smugly acros their front page. Shut up CNN. Since when were you so interested in Canada? I am frozen in disbelief, anger, we are nowhere near you Bushie, don't get too excited. It won't last.
