Giving thanks for a Harper-free Canada

Today is Thanksgiving Day in Canada, that special time of year when I pull out the creepy turkeyboy ceramic centrepiece for all to enjoy:

It's also Columbus Day in the United States. I'll never understand how such a shitty town in Ohio can earn itself a national holiday, but it's just one more thing on a long list of stuff I don't get about Americans.

Speaking of Americans, exhaustive media coverage of the U.S. election has overshadowed our own elections, which take place tomorrow. I cannot possibly top the awesome 40th Canadian General Election post written by Dan at The Other Side of Normal, so just go and read his.



And for fuck sake people, especially all you students out there, please get off your ass and vote. This kitten-choking douchebag on the left could stand to win again, but there's a million of you, and you have the power to collectively turf the Conservatives out of office. And if I cannot convince you, maybe Rick Mercer can:

No matter who wins the election tomorrow, they're going to be a fucking idiot in two years.

So I choose to vote for myself sitting in front of the TV and watching something else other than election coverage tomorrow. I hope you'll join me in being apathetic.

I had know idea that Canadians actually had an organized government. Good for you guys.

i was hoping that you fine folks up north could show us all how it's supposed to work.

Oh well...

You guys have a government? Then why are all those pictures of the Queen on your money?

I may be new here (too new to vote), but I think the best we can hope for is a Harper minority, sadly. I'd like to see Layton get in because I'm developing a man-crush on him, even though I live in his wife's riding.

You need to vote someone in to get rid of all the fucking graffiti. What did you do, import all the SoCal taggers? Let me look outside... nope, they're still here! You want some (more)?

That picture of Harper in the sweater with the kitten really freaks me out.

He need to embrace his cold, hard suit and tie look...because this one is totally unnatural.
