Anybody following Canadian politics right now? This week has been intense! We might not even have a government after tonight.

The vote is literally coming down to 3 independents because everything is tied and defections from MPs switching sides... oh man, it's crazy.

That painting was a gift, Todd. I'm taking it with me.

Yep, these are interesting times. Well, as interesting as Canadian politics can be... I've noticed that nothing the government does ever seems to affect us.

I'd completely forgotten about it. Huh, yeah, so I see on the news that the military cash injection (among other budget items) might be delayed a few months while they bicker about it in Parliament? Wonderful. This brings out the ruthless autocrat within me:mad:
