Any backstory to this?

Well, no one probably noticed, but up here in the frozen north, out Harper gubbermint fell! Both the government and the opposition claim they didn't really want an election, and blame the other side for bringing it about. And so we get the entertainment of campaigning until erection day on May 2nd.
It's really all smoke and mirrors - it just means a few changes in the cast of the Parliamentary Soap Opera in Ottawa.
At least it gives the CBC news something other than the boring Libya war games to cover...

That's gotta be worth the ticket price, eh?

funny...Harper is a fucking tool, too bad the other parties are just as bad on every level except (perhaps) the environment.
Our struggle is not against actual corrupt individuals, but against those in power in general, against their authority, against the global order and the ideological mystification which sustains it.

This is getting better than the comedy hour. Harper, at his campaign events, has restricted reporters to a total of four questions. At a recent East Coast encounter, the first two questions were why he had restgricted the questions to four. He refused to answer. Talk about fucking arrogance! :lay:

When Harper took over the prime ministers digs there were newspeople watching him sending his kids to school on the first day. Instead of hugging his kids he shook their hands! :funny: Yet he showed he had a good sense of humour on Rick Mercer.... :dunno: He does come across as an arrogant peckerhead, though...
