But you're right the gay debate should have been a one-day affair. As all the arguments have been heard over and over again.But we should have taken as much time as possible on Afghanistan so our MPs could have made a more informed choice....<BR/>BC Boy to tell you the truth the worst thing for me is just having to think about the vote all summer. Lying on a beach somewhere with that annoying little cloud on the horizon.I'm sure going to do all I can to make sure those wingnuts pay for that!!<BR/>And Lenny...the control freak will eventually burn out splutter bang. Reveal his Frankenstein visage, and be consigned to a bizarre chapter in Canadian history. When for an embarrasing moment a country briefly lost it's equilibrium. It either that or the resistance! As for the Saguenay accent I really shouldn't have slandered the Royaume's boys.I was just poking fun at one of them... And besides, as I'm reminded, they teach French to the English in places like Jonquiere. But I'll never forget the day I went up there with two East End Montreal guys who had never been up there before.They both scoffed at the notion that they might have trouble understanding the distinct local dialect. Then near L'Ascension I think we bumped into a rural gentleman who let fly a volley of angry words. The two French guys looked at each other and their jaws dropped. I laughed until I almost died.
