It's pretty amusing to me that it's Canada Day, but everywhere I look the flags are Spanish.

Well, I still like Canada.

I saw the fireworks and the people leaving capital hill today while helping my buddy Rich move to an appartment two blocks closer to capital hill than the one he used to live in. He lives on this street Metcalfe that runs north into parliment hill.

Jets flew around all day.

At this point, the international perception of Canada must be like some kind of out of control lunatic asylum with daily dismemberment and beheadings.

Rob Ford possibly to be turfed from office for conflict of interest.

I doubt it'll happen, but oh man, the quotes.

Quote
Clayton Ruby, the high-profile lawyer who will grill the mayor, will be arguing that Mr. Ford, a 12-year veteran of city council, knew he should have recused himself from the debate and vote. The rules are right there in the council handbook, Mr. Ruby suggests at the start of the June 28 cross-examination. Mr. Ford says repeatedly he cannot recall ever receiving or reading a handbook.

“Do you have any memory of the handbook?” Mr. Ruby asks.

“I just answered that question,” Mr. Ford replies.

“You said, ‘I have a memory in my mind.’ What is it you have in your mind?”

“I can remember what I ate for breakfast this morning.”

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, OUR MAYOR.

Okay, this is getting out of hand.

So is there going to be like one gruesome dismemberment killilng per month now? What the hell are they putting in the water?

omg charest is getting trounced by a thousand votes in his own district

is this what an election boner is like

1300 now

:glee: :glee: :glee:

We're probably looking at a Parti Québécois minority government. I voted Québec Solidaire myself (they're still for independance but are much more to the left than the PQ), but the big two I didn't want to see end up first probably won't, so I'm alright with it.

1400  :kowhyee:

EDIT: 1600!

Yeah, I figured the PQ was in for sure. Minority government should prevent any of the most absurd shenanigans (I have respected several previous PQ leaders... Marois not in the least).

Charest was done like dinner. Anybody paying even the slightest attention knew that people were just fed to the back teeth with the LPQ's nigh-ridiculous corruption levels.

Marois is a big part of why I didn't go PQ this time, I didn't like a lot of what she had a hand in back when they were in power. Legault was kind of the opposite. I liked him back then, but in this campaign he took a giant crap on youth and the student movement and that turned me right the hell off.

I hope Charest ends up stepping down; he didn't really mention anything in that regard in his speech tonight. But it's mostly because I'd like to see the PLQ as an adversary I can respect and understand, rather than the almost cartoonishly rotten organization it had become under his rule. ("I know this government contractor gave me tickets to Céline Dion, but how could I refuse? It was Céline Dion!") I know it's not sensible to put all the blame on him, but he so bumbled through the creation of the Charbonneau commission that by all appearance if he's not dirty himself he's protecting someone who is.

As for Québec Solidaire, they had one elect, and now they have two. Welp, good enough for now I suppose.

How did your riding go? PQ? I know you're somewhere in la rive-sûd, but damned if I can remember the manure-scented town... I keep thinking it was Saint-Rémi, but I don't think that's right.

Saint-Hyacinthe. We're pretty much owned by the PQ at this point. Of course we did pick the NDP gal last federal election so I dared hope we were getting ready to shift to the left a bit, but QS ended fourth, just behind the Liberal.

...holy crap, Marois' speech was interrupted by a crazy fucker. There's a photo of a man with what appears to be an assault rifle, something was set on fire, the room was evacuated momentarily, and two people were hurt. Christ almighty.

I dunno, looks like your riding almost went for the Cock-Flavoured Soup Mix.

Annnnd of course it's a crazy-ass anglo behind the shooting. Well, I'm sure that'll end well.

Rob Ford, on trial, live text feed

I don't think I can ever recall seeing a politician seem so utterly, hopelessly out of his league. You know how people say things like "It almost makes me feel sorry for him.". Well, this actually does make me feel sorry for him.

Usually, shitty politicos in this type of situation are more like cornered rats, even if their excuses aren't much better than Ford's. But this is a very special case: The man is quite literally too stupid to understand what is happening to him.

And he's our Mayor. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the citizens of Toronto.
