Good news day

Well it may not all be great news, a lot of things caught my eye today.

First, it’s not news that Harper is in contempt of parliament for not turning over documents demanding by parliament, but now it’s official. It’ll be an interesting two weeks to see if he learns how to share and play nice with the other kids. And despite all the media framing, I don’t see it as election versus giving out the documents, Harper can easily prorogue (since he has two established precedents), pass it off to the senate or find some other way to stonewall the opposition.

Next, the Pirate Party of Canada has officially been registered as a political party. Not sure yet if I’m going to actiely support them, but I do tend to agree with their basic stance.

Also, Harper can’t help but show his true colours and has decided to set a double standard by cutting funding to abortions in his aid packages while they are legal and funded here.

Finally, those evil, greedy, money-grubbing bankers were exposed as exactly that in front of the US Senate, with everyone digging into them.

Tomorrow I fly to Edmonton to move the fiancée out here.
