Money Waster!

Well, the Canadian election was a total waste of $350,000, 000 and time! The results were not that different than they were 3 years ago when some people elected Stephen (AKA Steve by George W) Harper in. He still has a minority government so nothing will get done. He did gain a few seats and the Liberals lost a huge chunk due to the less than charismatic leader of the party. But long and short of it all, it cost a lot of money and nothing changed. That's what happens when you call an election early. So much for your big plan to have a majority government. It still burns me that the Bloc has 50 seats and only 8% of the vote while the Green Party has 2% of the vote and NO seats. What's wrong with this picture??? Things need to change. At any rate - today is the same as it was yesterday, so we will continue on with Steve telling us he has a "plan". Sure - whatever.

On a completely different note there was major action outside our apartment last night. I have absolutely NO idea what was going on, but around 8 pm we could hear a lot of police cars around our neighborhood, which is abnormal. So, I decided to check things out. I went out on the deck and looking down spotted 4 police cars, and numerous police. Shouting and shining of flashlights ensued at the building across the street. Soon more cars came, a total of 8 in all blocking off all entrances and exits to the street, alley etc. The canine unit was dispatched as well. Looking down at one point there were approximately 25 cops congregated at the front of the building. After about 90 minutes or so, they all left. I am none the wiser this morning. I am going to have to make the rounds this afternoon and see if I can find out the scuttlebutt. I hate being out of the loop!

I got a call from the college yesterday and it seems they need another part-time instructor in the new year, so I have been booked in from Jan 5 to March 20. Yeah!!! I will make some decent cash and still be able to do my transcription in the morning before I go in. Maybe....we'll get to California in April or May! Would be nice.

Part time work sounds great

Oh Laurie I hope we can connect sometime! I am going to be teaching as well, community ed and possibly some County Schools classes. I have dreamed it into existence so it is finally happening.

I am so sick of hearing about money being wasted like this. Can you image what that money could buy??
it boggles the mind...
Congrats on the teaching- I am very glad to hear that for you. How are you feeling lately?

First, congrats on getting the teaching job. Yeah!

Secondly, I didn't do it, and I wasn't in Vancouver, anyway. Maybe it was a raid on landlords running up rents before the Olympics?

OK, I didn't think so, either.

Lastly, it seems Mr. Dion is not long for the Liberal leadership. Any idea who would be able to take on Harper better than Dion did? Harper didn't get the majority he wanted, but he didn't miss by much. Maybe thank the financial chaos for that one.
