| It's been less than 7 years since Proposition 8 passed in California to Bart's glee. I still remember the rage I felt that night. People, myself included, doubted that society could change, but it did. I've lost contact with that friend who was so miserable and felt like he was 2nd class that night,... |

| I'm a Federalist. I believe Canada is stronger together than it would be apart. I'm glad Quebecois have decided to participate in the government properly again. Hopefully it endures. |

| So the Conservatives got their majority. I'm a canuck in the states so I was watching the CSPAN2 stream of the CBC results with some interest. I'm hoping Harper stays close to the center and doesn't try to move the government to the right socially. Focus on the economy and I'll be okay with him. But... |

| I only care about Polish politics cause I represented them in Model UN at college, but this is still a tragedy. Thankfully the Prime Minister wasn't on the plane or it could have been even worse. Other big people on the plane included the woman who's firing started the entire Solidarity movement. It... |

| The Olympics actually cost NBC about 200 million in lost revenue, but they are apparently saying that it still helped people remember that NBC exists. It was funny too, I was streaming it online from a British feed before my internet screwed up, but if the Brits can air it commercial free, why the h... |

| That's because after many years of strong presidents, Americans have forgotten that constitutionally they're quite weak. Any power they do have has been legislated to them by Congress. People need to see the President as less of the policy maker of his party and more of the final stop for bills and ... |

| Also, don't forget that while the Conservatives won the minority to be the party in power, technically the majority of Canadians who voted, didn't vote Conservative. Another flaw in our democracy if you ask me. Meh, same thing happens in the States. Obama is the first president we've had in a while... |

| Americans get a rudimentary lesson in their History in school. I can't recall a single year where we actually got through the whole text book. Most of the time we stopped around World War II. They focus on the wars mostly and gloss the rest. Seriously, most people probably don't know Garfield was an... |

| I ascribe to libertarianism mostly because hey I am a social liberal and a fiscal conservative and the Libertarian party is the closest fit to that. |
