So I get to vote today. Interesting. The political climate in this country sure is odd. I think it's pretty fucked-up in alot of ways:

-Voting should be representative of the number of votes each party gets. This would ensure that Canadians are having their voice properly heard and represented.

-The senate should be set up geographically, and somewhat more open to personal opinion. The idea of it being an old-boys club with members who get paid to do nothing much at all is distressing.

-Focus should be taken away from the Prime Minister. Here in Canada, we don't have a president, so let's not pretend we do. Technically in the Constitution there is no mention of a Prime Minister, so why do we allot them so much power?

-Get rid of the Not-Withstanding Clause. 'Nuff said.

-Get rid of fucking voter surveys. It completely undermines the democracy in voting. It makes it strategic, which is ridiculous. I don't want to know who is in the government until I vote.

...That's just a start, too.

As for school, I still can't afford textbooks, and as much as I disagree with the Prosperity cheque, I need it now.

My ass hurts. The play I'm in involves alot of movement, so yesterday I apparently pulled some muscles I didn't know I could pull. Namely my ass.

Man do I have alot of shit to do, and it should all be done today, but that's just not possible, is it? Sad, sad, sad, and really quite disappointing.
