Happy Election Day!

Today is election day in Canada. We're about to get a new President. I don't exactly understand politics here, but I think people are voting among five major parties (conservative, liberal, green, and two others) -- yet everything is still somehow connected to the Queen of England. Her picture is on the cash here and supposedly we're in a "constitutional monarchy." I don't quite get it, so I did a little research online, and learned that there are more than five parties--with no mention of the Queen (at least at this site). I wonder if the "Marijuana Party" is at all related to the "work less" party.

Francois is not working this week, so I'm in charge of the office...scary thought. I only have to go in for an hour or two per day, though, so I should be able to explore quite a bit more. (Maybe this means I'm voting for the "work less" party.)

On days when I have nothing better to write, I'll see if I can find a short film for you to enjoy. This one is simple (and less than two minutes long) but kind of creative.
