Olympics and .. uh .. not much else
Well, have to apologize for not posting in a while. Been kinda hunkered down watching the Olympics. Been great watching Canada pick up so many medals. Yeah, yeah, I know we didn't win the gold medal in hockey, but when you look at it, is it really that big of a deal? I really don't think the fact we didn't win hockey gold should overshadow how well the rest of our athletes did over in Turin. I have to admit when I heard the COC's (canadian olympic comm.) goal to win 25 medals this time, I was pretty skeptical that it was possible. But then our athletes go and surprise the hell out of us and just start racking up the medals. Should be interesting in 2010 and I can't wait.
Politically, seems things have calmed down a little. Emerson's still hiding out in his riding, and Harper lost his director of communications. Other than that, pretty quiet for a brand new government. The Liberals just need to hurry up and get a new leader. Should be rather interesting to hear comments from all of the "frontrunners" in the coming months on the various policies proposed by Harper and company.
Finally, one interesting item I've come across lately.
Harper to visit Kandahar
Now I think this is a good idea. It shows support for the military, something that has been sorely lacking from past Liberal governments. Also, if Harper does take this trip and makes it his first international trip, that sends a big message internationally (especially to the US). This would allow him to go down to the US and say, "hey, look, we're part of the war on terror, too". This could help in solving the growing number of trade disputes with have with our neighbour to the South. And unlike a lot of Canadians, I don't see it as a horrible thing to be a little bit closer and/or friendlier to our biggest trading partner.
