So I got back my PC (now with a gig of RAM, thanks guys) last Monday. Took longer than I would have cared for, but at least it runs a little smoother now.
I’m probably going to do something particular uncharacteristic of me and unusual of this blog; I have a couple thoughts on some political landscapes. Unfortunately, this is mostly happenings in Quebec and whatnot. Yeah, I usually avoid the political talk when I can, but this is kinda irking me (and to be fair, it’s not really political – just that the subjects mostly link to the politics).
So it seems that the latest Quebec budget has caused some dissention among the National Assembly members. The Liberal minority government and the Parti Quebecois are currently negotiating amendments to the budget (the Action Democratique – the main opposing party – has already voted against the budget) in order to make it passable. If the budget is fully rejected, another election could be looming in July. That means more taxpayers money thrown into the Wasteful Spending department. It seems that the Libbies should just swallow their pride and make the damn changes needed to let the budget pass. It’s bad enough I have to go to an election once this year; I don’t feel like contributing to the bullshit voting again for quite some time, much less three-four months later.
Recent reports are revealed illegal money spent by Option Canada during the 1995 referendum. Apparently, one official has already been fired as a result. It’s really unfortunate that people need to resort to illegal spending to get their way. It’s a sad state of affairs, but on the bright side, the right side won… hey, that rhymes.
Boris, a tiger that had spent the majority of his life in a Quebec zoo, was moved to an Albertan zoo and is mostly bored unless someone speaks French. Not sure what this has to do with politics, but the idea of a francophone tiger is funny.
That’s about it. I’m going to end this “big return” now before I get too carried away. Nothing big.
I probably have a few “announcements” and “declarations” to make this weekend. But that’s this weekend. For now… I’m off to the showers and then to work.
Later.
