Well, here we go again. Not only are we inundated with the election coverage south of the border, we now have a federal election called in Canada.
In the US, the Presidential contest seems to be never-ending; a long drawn out process of finding the best candidate for each party, and then a quick slide into character assassination. Television ads that attack rather than promote. Negative campaigning, as opposed to laying out your policies and then winning or losing based on ideas and ideals. I wonder if the Canadian election will slide down this slippery slope as well? Time will tell.
And time will tell quickly, as the campaign is over on October 14th. We may not always do it right, but at least we do it quickly. So quick in fact, that DBM and Mr. DBM will miss it. Somehow I doubt that this will cause them to lose any sleep. They will also miss all of the municipal elections while they are gone, but thankfully, will return in time for the Provincial election in the early spring. Can't have them missing all the fun!
I am not sure I shall enjoy any of it. Time will tell, and hopefully the politicians will produce a laugh or two for us all. They seem to have a natural ability to do just that.

Hola! I finally made it here and it is looking goooood! Excellent. As for the elections - couldn't happen at a better time. Now I don't have to agonise over who is the least likely to waste my money and generally mess up the country.
On to more important things - what on earth were the officials thinking when they penalised Hamilton by 25 secs. Morons - couldn't they see he did not gain an advantage and that he slowed down and let Kimi back in front of him? What is wrong with them????

I don't think the stewards like your Mr. Hamilton. Bad decision though, I saw the race, and he definitely gave up position to the Ferrari.
Oh well. They are disputing it.
