Ok, I’m officially fucking scared now.

Canada has a new Prime Minister

So many things have happened since polls closed in BC last night at 7pm. The Conservatives have the most elected seats and will form a minority government. Paul Martin has decided he will step down after his Liberal party lost this election (big surprise there). What’s really interesting to me and very very wrong with our electoral system is that the NDP received 17% of the overall votes, but only 29 seats. Compare this to the Bloc de Quebe Crap or whatever it’s called and they only have 10% of the votes while holding 50 seats in parliament! Wtf? Yeah, I can see that the will of the people was served here. Anyways, change should be good. Let’s see how long this will last. More at CBC.

MIAMI

Miami police announced Monday they will stage random shows of force at hotels, banks and other public places to keep terrorists guessing and remind people to be vigilant.

Deputy Police Chief Frank Fernandez said officers might, for example, surround a bank building, check the IDs of everyone going in and out and hand out leaflets about terror threats.

“This is an in-your-face type of strategy. It’s letting the terrorists know we are out there,” Fernandez said.

I can not express how sorry I am for anyone with an IQ greater than a chair leg that’s living in the US….Funny
