Our Prime Minister Stephen "Steve" Harper had breakfast with the Governor-General Michaelle Jean this morning, Steve bringing the two double-doubles and a box of Timbits. Over the donut holes and coffee, Steve let slip that he wanted a Federal Election called for October 14th.
The G-G, who usually takes her coffee milk-only and was eyeing a powdered-sugar dusted cherry-filled Timbit said "Yessss…." as she gobbled the object of her donut affection. Steve though she meant "Yes" for the Election writ, then jumped up and said "Gotta go…" and snagged the remainder of the box of Timbits. There were probably 35 left out of the box of 45.
Which means we’re in a Federal Election. Parliament is now dissolved, the media pundit class is rising up on their back legs to examine the entrails and the camera crews are stocking up on antacids to counter the food related products they will be consuming in the next few weeks on the campaign bus, plane and train.
The rest of us Canadians, who were not privy to sharing a box of Timbits with the PM, are looking at the offerings from the four political parties and wondering where we can throw up.
Unfortunately our federal ballots do not have a box which says "None of the Above"
