It's like dry-humping

After waiting for three weeks for this Speech from the Throne and then listening to the GG drone through 6000 words - I feel like someone blew chucks in my soup.  What the hell did the government do with its time?

The Speech in a nutshell is... "jobs goods and deficit bad but since we have no plan to address either... we are going to change the words to O Canada and create a senior's day".

Sad news from a sad government.  They're like the generals in WWI - leading from the rear.

The budget comes tomorrow.  We can only hope for some real plans.

Tell me it isn't so?

Nanos Research polled 1100 Canadians between November 11 and November 15, 2008. (Random Telephone Survey of 1,000 Canadians, 18 years of age and older). A survey of 1,000 Canadians is accurate to within 3.1 percentage points, plus or minus, 19 times out of 20.

Ballot Question: For those parties you would consider voting for federally, could you please rank your top two current local preferences? (Committed Voters Only - First Choice)

Even in the west the Cons are losing support, probably because they are seen to be incompetent and hesitant.

If you bail out the Big Three with no gain for Canada, kiss it goodbye, Stephen.
