Elections? Never a good time to have one, is there? Well, if you are Paul Martin, I guess. Every day, it seems, our embattled PM pulls a new excuse out of the bag as to why we can't have a "holiday" Election. Today, we moved on from the "friends and family" reason from yesterday (and from the overall we have "important" business to complete), and proceeded on to the idea that an election at the end of December or beginning of January just might offend someone's religious sensibilities...nothing specific, but there are lots of religions, and someone just might be offended, since, well, many religions have something Holy going on this time of year. And all religions have some sort of strictures on holiday voting...you know, of the "thou shalt not vote on festival days" or something...
Give me a break.
How long till Papa Paul just decrees that, since there is never a good time to have an election, what with all the Very Very Important Business they have left to do (after all, the 12 years the Libs have been in power was not nearly enough time to completely loot the Canadian treasury), and what with all the religious holidays scattered throughout the year, that we are just going to forego the darned things and let him Rule in peace.
Oh, I can't wait till I get to trudge my way through 2 feet of snow and minus 30 degree temps, singing Christmas carols, just so I can contribute to voting his ass out of office...
