Thanksgiving and Risktaking

After one delicious Thanksgiving photo shoot and turkey eat, the evening turned over to risktaking, in both the financial stock markets and political federal elections, with my projection remaining the same, a Stephen Harper Tory minority government with no funny business by the opposition until after the pecuniary storm. This may force the Liberals, New Democrats or Greens into democratic leadership reviews, but I do not think so, or would truly hope not, Stephen got 2004 so why can not Stéphane have 2008, as well Dion seems to need time now to actually fashion a proper agenda for himself, not using a watered down version of the fifth party's with its "Think Green Vote Liberal" mantra. The federal Tories will gain, the Liberals will lose and Jack Layton's New Democrats will take the leftovers with some breaded stuffing on the side. Gilles Duceppe's Bloc Québécois will remain steady and since Elizabeth May's Greens never really had a seat in the House at dissolution, nor shall they have one when it when Parliament reconvenes whenever that is, though I do believe there ideas have made quite the difference in this election, just like the Reformers before them. All in all, this election will likely replicate the markets in one way, in the end this will turn out to be all really be about nothing, in the long term sense of things.
