Best wishes to you wherever you are headed. I imagine soon the sane countries will offer queer people asylum.

Why did you do it? Let’s start there. Please unpack.

That was HILARIOUS. I think he tried to be funny once and sing a Doris Day song in response. 22 Minutes is absolutely brilliant.

I met Stockwell once. He just ordered a coffee from me at work, I had an urge to do what that other protestor did with the chocolate milk.

This is sad. He has his flaws but he seems like a really peace loving guy with a genuine commitment to making a difference in the world.

Thank you for the link! I did not yet see it. I kind of forgot about the Beautiful South, but I used to listen to Song for Whoever EVERY morning on the independent radio station out of Toronto when I got ready for school. I didn’t listen to the Housemartins. Paul Heaton seems like such a nice guy and incredible singer. So unassuming.

Read a lot of books. Swim. Go for coffee anytime I could with friends. Volunteer. Sit and stare out the window at the rain. Foster parenting.

I myself voted for a party. I don’t typically vote Liberal but I did under the circumstances.

No, but there should be a by-election so the people who voted for them agree.

Happened a few times under Harper!

You too friend. I hope his ass is chapped over this.

It’s marvelous. I hope he’s crabby.

That shouldn’t be allowed and neither should crossing the floor. I voted, we all voted, for whom and what party we wanted, and that’s that.

Chretien was oddly charming somehow in his cranky old Francophone way.

There was also a dose of homophobia regarding Trudeau that has to be acknowledged. He’s a self described feminist, he is LGBT positive and has shown up for all the Pride parades and even Canada’s Drag Race, and has been photographed with drag queens, etc etc. He has practiced yoga. He also comes off as sort of foolish at times. So the nastier conservative faction who hate any sense of a man being perceived as effeminate call him homophobic slurs and that’s probably a LOT of the reason many of them didn’t like him. He’s also super good looking, and I think that makes them resentful.

Not really different at all.

I’m always shocked when I talk to a woman who doesn’t vote in particular. Like your ancestors had to fight for that right very hard, why wouldn’t you exercise it?

It’s amazing how a little taste of fascism motivates people isn’t it?

No, unfortunately I need the money, and my ex is a bad situation that I have to grey rock through.

Why shouldn’t I be? I’ve worked at least 60 hours a week for 20 years, while he sits on his ass and watches hours of TV.
