Today there was an historic and wonderfully thrilling election in Canada even though nobody noticed it. It definitely made my day after a long, exhausting day being sick and gross in the dreary weather of Seattle. It may be May, but there are no signs that Spring has settled in, or that Summer is approaching. Alas, life carries on. At least Elizabeth May was elected to parliament for the next four years, the first Green MP in Canada, and my second favorite party, the NDP is now the official opposition with over 100 seats, breaking the grip of the Bloc Quebecois and their separatist agenda. While the Conservatives took a majority, the election was exciting in so many ways and truly kept me distracted from everything else I needed to do. I have so much homework I am now behind on, so much sleep I missed, but the joy of watching election results that make history come in on my computer is so worth it!
I am such a nerd, and I am so proud of it!
