W, Carbon Tax Signs and Drafting Frank...

W.
I had the opportunity this weekend to catch a movie with one of the ladies in my life, my mother. The problem though is that we chose to see the latest Oliver Stone bio pic W.
Why Oliver Stone do you insist on creating film versions of the worst cases of human tragedy? A September 11 movie four years after, a reliving of the Nixon era and the latest, a look at the inner workings of the world of George W Bush. I wish this movie had been released twenty years from now.

The best part of the movie was the preview for the film adaptation of the Frost/Nixon play which is a depiction of the historic David Frost interviews of Richard Nixon. This movie looks as good as the W was hyped to have been. Oliver Stone, you see what they did here, they released a movie on a historical topic after the event was done and with decades to buffer the bad memories.

Carbon Tax Signs
I read with great pleasure that many of the No Carbon Tax Signs were taken down before the election was even over. Whoever erected these signs was apparently quite concerned by the fact that someone was breaking the election act when they took the signs down, concerned enough to even contact the RCMP. I believe that it violates the election act to leave signs up past the day of election. Being over a week past the election, can a concerned citizen report the many No Carbon Tax signs still littering Greater Moncton?

The American Election.
Watching the McCain campaign deteriorate into a Saturday Night Live appearance, the repetition of the name of a certain plumber and some downright obscene campaign ads directed at Obama has been one of the highlights of the past week. If there was any doubt that Obama would not prevail, I am sure that all doubts have been laid to rest.

Draft Frank!
So one last musing, if Frank McKenna becomes Liberal leader, do you think Stephen Harper will adhere to the fixed election date law?

Good morning! I think the Liberal party of Canada and some of its candidates have got to put there House in order , and quick , before Frank says yes.
