So the Conservatives, the Bloc Quebecois and the NDP all voted against the Liberals in a no-confidence vote tabled yesterday in Parliament.
Parliament has fallen. The Prime Minister is asking the Governor General to dissolve Parliament. There will be elections in January.
I am saying right now, barring any miraculous scandals, that we will wind up with a Conservative minority government.
This annoys me. A lot.
I am further annoyed by the fact that regardless of who I vote for, my current Liberal MP is going to get in, because my riding is Liberal, has always been Liberal and always will be Liberal. Which is okay, except when the Liberals have this whole sponsorship scandal thing going on.
I am even further annoyed by the fact that the NDP has no support in Quebec. It's either the Bloc (and I will not waste my vote by voting for those separatist pigs!) or the Liberals. And while I'm glad that the Liberals brought in same-sex marriage, they were nowhere near as enthusiastic about it as the NDP was. The NDP didn't give their members the option -- vote for it, or else. The Liberals had a free vote, as did the Bloc.
I'm kind of all... well, at a loss when it comes down to it. I don't know who to vote for, because my major issue has, you know, been resolved. It definitely comes down to the NDP and the Liberals, though, but I still don't know what I'm going to do. But I will vote, as should everyone in EVERY SINGLE ELECTION, because it all MATTERS!
</soapbox>
And I am definitely going to work as a Deputy Returning Officer again, because DAMN ME, that's an amazing experience. :)
And yes, it's quarter to ten in the morning and I am awake. I've been up since 9. My DSL light is still flickering and someone's gonna get an earful if it's not fixed by noon.
That is all.
