Deep Thoughts
1. Last night I attended a little soiree in honour of the (potential) future Prime Minister of Canada; Michael Ignatieff. Before you judge, I was there to support some friends who have shed the shackles of academia and employment in pursuit of lofty political dreams and have found themselves a part of Ol’ Iggy’s entourage. The man of the hour presented his diaphanous diatribe with about as much charisma as a popsicle stick and raised some red flags – and I don’t mean of the Liberal kind.
With much conviction he declared that we “must recognize the nation of Quebec as such – as a nation; a distinct nation of people”. With national recognition being a fundamental part of the State building process (see Article 3 of the Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States), does this not then provide dangerous fuel for the engine of separatism?
2. Why in heck does Tim Hortons not take Interac?

I couldn't handle it either - it was one big circle jerk. I stayed only for some old colleagues of mine from G8.
And no, I'm really not overly concerned with who will run the next minority government in Canada.
