Hey Sportsfans,
Big news. At some point in the next few minutes a vote will be held in Canada's Parliament (which I can see from the window where I'm writing this) here in Ottawa on a motion of non-confidence in the Conservative Government of Stephen Harper. The motion has the support of all opposition parties (unless the absence of The Prime Minister and Jack Layton of the NDP for the last couple hours signaled the negotiation of some kind of backroom deal. Conspiracy theorists have at it.) and will pass, meaning that the minority government will fall, and we here in Canada will have an election in 5 or 6 weeks' time.
Which gives me something, in addition to our usual doses of American politics, to blog about. So I'll try to keep you up to date from the heart of the matter, right here in our nation's capital.
Cheers Folks, and TGIF
