    - I like this year's better than any previous years. -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Dec 2, 08:59
    - I don't think I've seen one yet. If I have, it's not memorable. Poo on you, Lexus! -- nm - Mop Dec 2, 08:50
Saw Revolutionary Road last night - I give it a B, it's a feel-bad movie. -- nm - LMS Dec 2, 08:38 11
- I started watching Who Killed The Electric Car?, which is a feel-angry movie -- nm - con_carne Dec 2, 08:47 6
  - Oooh, that made me so angry. -- nm - kelly Dec 2, 09:01
  - that one was very informative. pissed me off too. -- nm - Diva Dec 2, 08:50
  - TTIS: Do other countries have lobbyists like the USA? -- nm - lileve Dec 2, 08:50 3
    - Yes. Wherever governments make decisions, there are lobbyists trying to influence them -- nm - Roger More Dec 2, 08:56 1
      - So evil! -- nm - lileve Dec 2, 09:09
    - I think they just use bribery and blackmail over here. -- nm - LMS Dec 2, 08:55
- I'd probably give it a B- or C+... I thought it was grueling to watch. -- nm - secretslacker Dec 2, 08:43 2

- It's kind of freaky, but I don't mind that at all. -- nm - Diva Dec 2, 08:36
LIR: in ways Ted Rogers has been compared to Ted Turner -- nm - zork Dec 2, 08:30 2
- less crazy though. -- nm - Reagen Dec 2, 08:35 1
  - But to be fair, when it comes to media moguls, that's like saying one orange is "less orangey" than another. - Beryllium Dec 2, 08:44
I don't think Harper and Layton could have agreed on anything more complicated than a racquetball schedule. -- nm - Reagen Dec 2, 08:29 2
- Even that would be a stretch. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 09:04
- Harper: He's a socialist!! - Mop Dec 2, 08:32
See I don;t understand how anyone can call it a coup. They have the majority of Seats or they couldn;t do it. -- nm - Beaker Dec 2, 08:27 47
- i like how the media is playing people's outrages, saying "this isn't what we voted for". umm, if you didn't vote in a majority then you did. -- nm - zork Dec 2, 08:36
- BTW, the reasoning of the Winnipeg Sun is a fail. The majority of Canadians did not reject Dion as leader. They said "anyone but Harper". -- nm - Mop Dec 2, 08:30 5
  - I don't think that's particularly fair either. tories had the biggest gain. -- nm - mafic Dec 2, 08:32 3
    - True enough. It's just a major fallacy to claim that what the Liberals are doing is illegitimate. -- nm - Mop Dec 2, 08:39 2
      - I think the best way to put it is that the majority of canadians rejected all the leaders as PM, just a slightly lower majority rejected Harper. -- nm - mafic Dec 2, 08:57 1
        
        Michael Ignatieff: Stand aside, everyone! I'm here to save Canada! -- nm - Mop Dec 2, 08:59
  - The Liberals were the only party that lost seats. -- nm - Roger More Dec 2, 08:31
- I'm actually rather enjoying it. - mafic Dec 2, 08:29 21
  - To your IM, I would respectfully disagree. Dion and Layton were both asked point blank during the election, "Would you do a coalition?" and both... - Name Withheld By Request Dec 2, 08:33 19
    - I don't believe that for a second. - Mop Dec 2, 08:43 14
      - I'm not making it up, but on that, you just have to trust me. (Brian said he just wants a majority by this point.) - Name Withheld By Request Dec 2, 08:45
      - The BQ are a major poison pill outside of Quebec. -- nm - Reagen Dec 2, 08:44 12
        
        I can see this working for the Liberals. But can also backfire big time. - Mop Dec 2, 08:49 10
        
        I think it all depends on what kind of quebec nationalist measures get pushed through. - mafic Dec 2, 08:54 6
        
        What about western seperatism? - Name Withheld By Request Dec 2, 08:56 5
        
        Nuh-uh. The Reform Party was this, already, and now they're called the Conservative Party. They already have their party in power. -- nm - Mop Dec 2, 09:06
        
        Even if that happens, wouldn't it cost the Conservatives more than the Liberals and the NDP? - Roger More Dec 2, 09:03 1
        
        see also: the chretien government. -- nm - mafic Dec 2, 09:06
        
        I don't see that as really realistic. Westerners see the Conservatives as serving that same function right now. -- nm - Reagen Dec 2, 09:01
        
        I think it'd take a catalyst too. something that pits east against west, like the NEP. - mafic Dec 2, 09:00
        
        I think the Liberals have to seriously ask themselves if they want the NDP establishing crediblity as governors. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 2, 08:52 2
        
        I'd disagree about BC. socred and ndp incompetence gave the liberals power. - mafic Dec 2, 09:05 1
        
        British Columbia: Two premiers in a row that haven't resigned in disgrace! -- nm - Reagen Dec 2, 09:06
        
        i think this is my biggest issue with this. the bloc. -- nm - El Fandie Dec 2, 08:45
    - regardless of what they said, I don't think in a minority a coalition is ever off the table. - mafic Dec 2, 08:39 3
      - I think most Canadians don't appreciate that fact. Again, people here aren't political. They know I am. You should hear the questions I've been... - Name Withheld By Request Dec 2, 08:48 2
        
        this makes me want to institute a test for voting privleges. -- nm - mafic Dec 2, 08:51
        
        I had one guy ask why confidence of the house was such an important thing "all of a sudden. They never had to worry about that when they're a majority - Reagen Dec 2, 08:49
  - People here are losing their shit. -- nm - Reagen Dec 2, 08:30
- the tanks rolling down the street might have something to do with it... -- nm - znufrii Dec 2, 08:28 15
  - Tank. Singular. It *is* Canada. -- nm - Mop Dec 2, 08:29 14
    - And it is not really a tank. More of a jeep with a machine gun on it. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 2, 08:30 13
      - Don't take this the wrong way guys, and I know you're just joking, but my b-i-l is in Afghanistan right now. - Reagen Dec 2, 08:31 7
        
        First you take away the money jokes, now military too!?! - musubi Dec 2, 08:54 2
        
        The money ones are back on the table. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 2, 08:55
        
        currency jokes could very well be back on the table soon. -- nm - Reagen Dec 2, 08:55
        
        Once again, the Canadians are in the thick of the fighting and are too humble for the rest of the world to notice. - Mop Dec 2, 08:38 1
        
        word - DaneDukeNuuk Dec 2, 08:44
        
        so is most of the canadian forces it seems - DaneDukeNuuk Dec 2, 08:36
        
        Sorry, man. I know Canada is right in there along side our troops. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 2, 08:33
      - Next, Beryl will be hijacking cruise ships off the coast of Vancouver Island. -- nm - Mop Dec 2, 08:30
      - And it's busy in Toronto, clearing snow -- nm - Roger More Dec 2, 08:30 3
        
        Cherry on top zinger! -- nm - Mop Dec 2, 08:31 2
        
        i'm glad that Lastman did that. we easily could have been in a situation that they were desperately needed. better to be safe than sorry. -- nm - zork Dec 2, 08:53 1
        
        I understand - Toronto doesn't get so much snow to justify investing as much in snow-removal as, say, Montreal. But still - funny! -- nm - Roger More Dec 2, 09:01
- I enjoy calling it a "coup de grace", not a "coup d'etat". -- nm - Mop Dec 2, 08:28
- Drama! -- nm - Reagen Dec 2, 08:27
Best post on B2. -- (link) - Todd Manning Dec 2, 08:27 2
- If this is his Kleenex post, you are dead. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 2, 08:28
- Fail - this lacks any reference to According To Jim. -- nm - Beaker Dec 2, 08:27
Truman, 24 hours. -- (link) - Mop Dec 2, 08:26 2
- yeah, I looked it up when st failed. -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 2, 08:27 1
  - *glove slap* Beryllium will meet you at dawn! -- nm - Mop Dec 2, 08:33
*flexes his Astronaut playoff berth* -- nm - oblique Dec 2, 08:25 4
- Welcome to the party, pal! - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 2, 08:27 2
  - I'm sure I'll be out in the first round. I'm backing in. *beep* *beep* *beep* -- nm - oblique Dec 2, 08:28 1
    - Kinda like my 8th seed in Arete. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 2, 08:29
