Went to get popcorn. Okay, now I’m ready.
I’m watching from Canada, which means that two other things are also very important: Oil (presently at $39.83) and the Canadian Dollar (presently at 75.57, its lowest point in just over a decade). We have a federal election campaign on here, and it will be interesting to see how things play out. The Conservatives have some problems, but they have been very good economically. They are presently running behind the NDP (a socialist party that has traditionally been a fairly minor player, roughly equivalent to the Liberal-Dems in Britain).
