Wish I could blog on something revelant to Canadian politicos or space nutsos but nothing eventfull here... The riots are long over, and buried in the collective French group think thing. The government still talks about dealing with issues in the "banlieue", but it seems more contrived propaganda and smooth wording than anything else.
Instead I fall back on the good North American continent for stuff to blog on... and on that point I notice that SpaceX's Falcon maiden launch is delayed... once again!
I'm starting to wonder if the thing will ever launch. And no doubt this is a real sucker punch to Engineers working on the project. Let's all pray that Falcon will be able to make it... And generations of space freaks everywhere will remember that single most important day of whenever the heck the rocket get's shout out of atmo.
Next on my list of mentions, is this little comment from a Liberal riding exec:
OAKVILLE, Ont. (CP) - The president of the Oakville Liberal riding association has resigned after telling a voter unhappy with gun control to take her "gun loving ass back to the U.S." (link)(via)
Now look, plenty of Conservative riding execs can say some pretty stupid stuff... I know not to judge a whole whack of phoney hippie arm pit hair growing Liberals by one bad apple.
The thing is that I think that Liberal riding exec just got caught thinking what I think a lot of Liberals really believe. There is this sense that I get from many Liberals, that they would just rather anyone who's Conservative either get the heck out of the country or die... And it's pretty much our pick to take which one we prefer.
Maybe, that's just a undeserved feeling... But it is definitely entertaining to see that a stupid comment made the news from a Liberals' mouth and not a Conservatives'. Although it has nothing to do with policy or anything tangible, it's a moment to keep in mind for when those one in a million tin foil hat Tories magically come out of the wood work just before election day, due to some amazingly enthuastic non-biased reporters that manage to track them down, and those same incredibly in the minority Tories will say the most ludicrously ridiculous, stupid, and nonsensitical or just poorly timed things... Like Ralph Klein to name one.
