Meet the new Boss

So while the blog was sleeping we supposedly had an election that changed the face of Canadian politics changed nothing.

Seriously though: the last time someone crossed the floor I got all huffy and name-cally...now I'm just a little despressed and deflated by the whole thing. Was everyone expecting that the Conservative Government would be all that different once the keys were handed over?

The interesting thing will be if the old Liberal trick of pissing everyone off early, followed by showers of Federal gold later to sooth the savage electorate will bear fruit for the Conservatives this time 'round.

While I was thinking about old Who songs my darlin' wife Rue revived the optimistic self-interested money-grubber in me when she asked if this effects those cheques that we're supposed to be getting in July...

Sometimes self-interest can be a comfort. And a government can break some promises without too many consequences as long as it keeps some of the big ones.
