Today is full of news!

Hello there,

I don't know about you but today was full of news! Stephan Harper has the majority government and Osama Bin Laden is dead.  I don't know about you but I think this is interesting news. 

First of all I don't know why everyone is all in a huff because NDP didn't win. I don't get it. The NDP offers everyone all this money, but where do they expect to get it? Harper has kept Canada relatively unaffected by the recession. I normally don't mind the Liberals, but Ignatieff drives me crazy. I loved his speech in Sudbury. Rise up! "This is about our country, this is about our democracy!" I thought it was a great speech. I totally agree with it, just not in the scene that he wanted.  I personally think that if the Liberals would have won, it would have been a win for Ignatieff not the the Liberals.

The NDP promises all this money to everyone, but where are they going to get this money from? From pensions and schooling. Maybe if we elect them into power in our province young people will see that the NDP is full of shit. I hope it doesn't come to that. 

I am very happy that people young people are finally interested in Canadian politics, even if I don't agree with them.  Someone on facebook wrote that they are unhappy about Conservatives winning. I wrote that I happened to like it, and people seem to be very upset with me. I glad that they are taking an interest. People say "while I dont know anything about it so I dont want to vote and make the wrong decision." Personally I would rather make a wrong decision than to not have made one at all. I am VERY ashamed to say that I did not vote. I tried too but I couldn't get to my poll station. I went to two different polling stations.  I can't even vote in October! I will not be home. I guess I will have to mail in my vote. Like I said, VERY VERY ashamed that I did not vote! Here I am telling everyone vote, vote! Then I don't, I tried but it never happened. 

Enough about Canadian politics for now. The big story all over the world is that Osama Bin Laden is dead.  Obama said that since Bin Laden is dead it is a "good day for America." Bin Laden was killed by  US special forces in Abbottabad, Pakistan.  His body was buried at sea.  Bin Laden allegedly ordered the 911 attacks, which made him top the US most wanted list.  Many people think that his death will help with the fight against terrorism. 

Personally I think that we are in for a rough couple of months, if not a year. I think that Bin Laden's followers will be mad at the US for killing their leader and will retaliate with violence.  

That's all for news today. 

I had a nice coming home get together with my friends tonight. We had sushi and ice cream after. I think Sean, Heather, Harley and I were the only ones that enjoyed it. I felt bad for Nicole, Kaitlyn, Candace and Jake. I don't think they liked it. 

Last night I watched the first Lord of the Rings. I am watching all of them this week. I like the second one the best. It goes Two Towers, Fellowship of the Ring, then Return of the King.  All great but greatness in that order.

Last weeks poll. Which world wonder do you want to see? Stonehenge won with 5 votes. The Eiffel Tower,   Pyramids of Giza, Easter Island Statues and  the Colosseum came in second with 4 votes each. In third place was Taj Mahal, Petra, and the Acropolis. The new poll for this week is which of the three leading parties do like best? Anyways that all for my ramble today. 

Ten Awesome things of the day:
  1. Having the right to vote
  2. Exercising the right to vote.....Ashamed I didn't
  3. Coming home to good friends and hanging out with them
  4. Lord of the Rings....all three of them
  5. Satellite TV!!  how I missed it.
  6. Schindler's List
  7. Inception
  8. Forrest Gump
  9. Rear Window
  10. Under the Tuscan Sun
