Maid is not fired? Oh! Canada!

Our maid surprised us when she showed up at eight this morning. My wife said to me that the maid didn't understand what she had said two days before. So, maybe the maid may not be fired. The wife let her work.

Tony was a holy terror this morning. He was up and about at six a.m. this morning. We had the heat on all night. Since Tony was sleeping in our big bed, I decided to sleep on the living room couch so he could have more room to roll about. I heard my wife yell at him as he got out of bed and ran into the living room. He went straight for his toys.

So being sleep-deprived yet again, the wife decided to keep the maid after all. She can't do everything by herself.


I came across a good name for the coalition government that may take power next week: The Central Canada Coalition Party (the CCCP). Just talking to my Liberal Party friend in Wuxi, I was disappointed to hear him: "that's the way it is!". I don't doubt the coalition is constitutional. I am flabbergasted at its amorality. And I just heard the rationalizations about the Conservatives playing politics. Well, that is what political parties do, obviously. And if the Conservatives were playing politics, the Liberals and the NDP have hopefully committed a massive political blunder in going to bed with the Separatists. Harper not having done a economic stimulus is sound economics. It is no reason, except for a leftie, to make deals with Separatists. Economics and Politics are enemies is a truth that comes to mind when I hear the charge that the Conservatives were playing politics. And the other rationalization about something Layton said in a caucus meeting being illegally played in public shows that the law and morality sometimes don't coincide either. But in that case, the persons responsible, if members of the Conservative Party, should be dealt with by the law. It is another weak rationalization for an amoral power grab. And yet there was another weak rationalization: the Separatists won't have cabinet positions. But any legislation passed and which presumably that cabinet ministers have to follow has to be approved by the Separatists.

In the end, Western Canada gets screwed again by Central Canada. The message of the Reform Party: "The West wants in!" has been dealt a kick in the teeth.

The only hope is that some Liberals and NDPers would not put up with it, and the no-confidence motion fails.
