To force a coalition involving all parties… yeah, that doesn’t jive with the Canadian parliamentary system. And reading my post… a lot of it does sound quite illogical. It just felt so frustrating to see the prospect of Stephan Dion gain power even though more than half the country didn’t vote for him. This coalition that they formed, while following the letter of how the Canadian parliamentary system works alienated a lot of people, especially those in the west who didn’t vote for either of the three parties in that coalition. I understand how the system works… but the way that the coalition came about (through Harper’s bone headed partisan decisions and the coalition’s threat to bring Dion to power) truly showed that this parliamentary system needs to change… particularly in a time of economic upheaval that we’re facing today.

You may not agree with my political leanings, which probably brought you to post (and I’m thankful that you actually read my ramblings). The point I just wanted to get across was the frustration that I felt at the time.

It appears now, that at least the liberals are starting to play nice. Let’s hope that the budget that the Conservatives will be something that all parties can live with… and that all the parties put aside their power grabs to get the economy rolling again.

That is awesome your son seems to have “the gift”. Great post, btw. You should continually encourage him to keep playing and progressing…. but, don’t do what my parents did. And that is to encourage me to keep playing and being proud and supportive, and then when I decide to major in music at the university level, they were strongly against it and discouraged me because they wanted to be somebody else like a doctor or a lawyer. Even now that I’m (to me) a successful and happy working professional musician, they look down on what I do and it just makes me feel torn inside. I look for my parents support and when it’s not there it hurts. Luckily, my wife has always been support of my musical abilities and I am deeply indebted to her for that.
