Well, I'm exhausted. Between my new job and school I haven't had time to blink properly and the assignments are all due tomorrow. I should most likely be working on them, instead of whining to a world that most likely has no interest in this gibberish, but I am always the narcissist and will enjoy my moment of solace from an otherwise dull existence.
The government has decided to hold the conservatives in contempt of parliament and called an election. Oh historical. I can't say I know who I'm voting for and as one of many I'm sure the vote is predominately split. Just not Harper.
Oh Harper. What a last name. Harper the Herpes of Government. Harper, the Harpy from the deep blue sea to shining sea. Harper, why can't you stop harping on the fact that Iggnatief is known for things other than being a politician. really. the profession is nothing to brag about, and the fact that Iggnatief even has a life in the public - seen as a teacher not a politican can only be good. however, they played on the feelings of patriots in this country. It has been a good year for it, at least. with the Olympics and the Royal Wedding and all that is Canadian with the economy being in better shape comparatively than that of the rest of the recession sufferers.
I would like to explain this. We are better off because we did not invest in risky financial practises that earned a lot of money, but also was a house of cards. It was a good decision. one years in practise not specifically because of Harper, or Martin or Whoever else. It's because someone was sane enough in our institutions to not jump on the miraculous gravy train and buy up "securities" which really was someone elses liabilities and when they had defaults on loans... you had to pay them. you buy a security. it's risky and they promise to pay you a premium while you hold on to it. but when they're lending like it's going out of style people are going to default. Mortgages and Lines of Credit... We had to bail out dozens of companies, because they had very risky liabilities and they had to pay out to those who they bought them from.
And then the bonuses. I mean, really?! What happened to Charm school, or I guess why didn't their PR man smack them?
