If it is about the NHL strike, I miss my Tampa Bay Lightning!! (but then, I do miss my Whalers, even more!!!)
My profile explains the name that I chose in 2005, when we had Paul Martin as PM. For decades I had more respect for the voters in the US as a whole, than for the people of Canada who elected our leaders. Such lefty leaders as Rocky Waterhole (English translation of Pierre Trudeau), Jean Chretien and even Joke Lark (actually, Joe Clark).
While Stephen Harper is somewhat more ‘conservative’ than any PM that we’ve had in 40 years, his stance on several important social issues makes it appear that he has set aside at least some of the beliefs of his Calgary church, a Christian and Missionary Alliance Church. That said, in terms of class, ability, intelligence and fiscal conservatism, he is miles ahead of the fellow who resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, between rounds of golf.
It seems that Mr. Harper also demonstrates more of the characteristics of a ‘vertebrate’ than your current Speaker of the House. That gentleman reminds me of two rather famous (now deceased) singers, Alessandro Moreschi or Giovanni Velluti, though more often the former than the latter.
