So funny story:

I was cycling to the polling office today to cast my away-from-home ballot in Canada's upcoming federal election and I passed these two guys on the street and heard a snippet of their conversation.

The one guy said to the other, "I stuck my hand in my fan yesterday and it really messed me up! I mean, my hand is all cut up. It's a cheap fan so I didn't think it could do that but it is kinda dirty and I think the dirt must have made it really sharp."

No word of a lie. Made my day.

I'm seriously pissed off at all the election ads this year. I have not hears a single one that addressed any real issues. They've all just been mud slingers: OH NOES, THE OTHER GUY SUCKS! VOTE FOR ME BECAUSE HE SUCKS!

I'm annoyed by people who don't vote, too. I'm no expert on all the issues, but I know what's important to me. While I can't list off every party's stand on the issues I care about, I know enough to make a decision based on what I believe.
Not that it's going to help much in this election, since I plan to vote strategically to keep a certain party out, rather than voting on who I'd personally prefer to win (since they won't).

ditto to the last comment. It hardly mattered who I wanted to vote for, I just knew who I didn't want to vote for.

All in all, Elizabeth May's commercials were the best. The rest were just useless and mean.
