Election 2007

Now for the election analysis that you all have been dying to see. Health care? Waiting lists? Equalization? Election reform? Fixed election dates? Screaming leaders' debates?

Who cares?

I know you are dying to hear about the real issues.

What else did premier-elect Brad Wall do bad while he was in university?

Poor Brad had to confess that he did indeed smoke marijuana once when he was young. It just makes me wonder what else he had to tell his poor mother after she got off of the fainting couch. I simply must know.

Has Brad Wall ever:

- looked at a naked pic?
- forgotten to wash his hands after peeing?
- had sex before marriage?
- picked his nose?
- used potty no-no words?
- left the toilet seat up?
- cheered for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers?

At least he is honest. Calvert and "No Wacky Tabacky Karwacki" are either liars or just plain pathetic. To go your whole life without even once experiencing the demon weed is a life not worth living.

Also, Tom Shapiro beat the Green party in Regina Coronation Park. Take that!

YAY! We're not the worst. I would hate to be the PC's right now. Our candidate in Saskatoon Nutana, Christine King, stomped the PC's by several votes.

Blog Neglect

I just haven't had time to keep this blog alive lately. I feel kind of bad but I have just been too busy to care. Anyway, here is a nice attack ad to laugh at. This is how well the election is going!

SKMP Press: The good, the bad and the ugly

Saskvotes saw fit to blog about Tom Shapiro's candidacy in this provincial election, but they didn't bother to tell us his name. Patrick Book refers to him as "A Regina man suffering from AIDS". How rude! A person is identified by their name, not their physical condition. Luckily, John saved the day and wrote a very supportive blog post over at Abandoned Stuff.

So far I haven't heard any stoner jokes, references to grass-roots activism or smoky-filled back rooms. I am very disappointed. :(

Trouble in My Constituency

According to Celestial Junk, Sask Party campaign signs are being vandalized in my constituency of Saskatoon Meewasin. I noticed this myself, as I was driving down Warman Road in my ugly little car.

I want to make it clear that I deride these tactics. But I don't think anybody would like my hippy, liberal, environmentally friendly solution to this problem:

Ditch the campaign signs.

We humans are such sheep that we need flashy, pretty campaign signs to decide who should represent us for the next four years. We need to fill the landfills with this nonsense and our candidates need to spend all that money on this crap. Who cares? Quit being a bunch of sheep and quit letting yourselves be influenced by advertising.

If I ran Elections Saskatchewan, I would only let candidates spend $1000 and have no billboards or campaign signs. They could have a web-site and a few speeches to sell their ideas. That's it. There wouldn't be any campaign signs to destroy and there would be less crap in the landfills. Everybody wins and I never have to look at butt-ugly campaign signs ever again.
