The Results Are In!

The Conservatives win with a minority. So, will 13 years of social progress get wiped off the map? Or will Canada be returned to the correct set of values? It all depends on your point of view!

Lets check the 'AP Top Story' headlines in the U.S. to see what they think about the election in their slightly larger neighbor. In order, we have...
  1. Alito Nomination Goes to Full Senate
  2. Prime Minister Named Emir of Kuwait
  3. Gonzales Says NSA Criticism Misleading
  4. 4 Killed in Small Plane Crash in Calif.
  5. FDA Panel Recommends Ban on Some Inhalers
  6. DaimlerChrysler to Eliminate 6,000 Jobs
  7. UPN, WB to Shut Down; New Network Formed
  8. Ky. Gov. Refuses Pamela Anderson's Request
  9. Poor Work Performance Blamed on Internet
  10. Mario Lemieux Is Retiring Again
  11. Man Has Cardiac Arrest at Cardiologist Ball
  12. Investigator: U.S. 'Outsourced' Torture
  13. Pre-Katrina Warnings Not Heeded
  14. Saddam Trial Is Delayed Until Sunday
  15. Conservatives Win in Canadian Election
So there you have it. That's the list of what is more important than a completely new government in Canada.

Can you name the outgoing and/or incoming Canadian prime minister? No? Well, can you name any Canadian Prime Minister? No? Well how about any prime minister of any country?

That's easy! Tony Blair. He's the prime minister of Europe.

*LOL* Great post! I can totally see how Mario Lemieux retiring again is more important...too funny!

Hey, Mario is important.

Ha! I was excited when I saw that one of the stories was about hockey. I knew my Canadian readers would comment on it.

While Mario is important, the most important has to be that the Kentucky governor wrote a letter to Pamela Anderson denying her request to remove Colonel Sanders' bust from the Kentucky Capitol.

You should listen to this past week's "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me". They discuss the relative importance of Canadian News in the US.

BTW, have you checked out the college baseball rankings? Clemson is top 5 in every major poll.

*LOL* OMG that was the request?! At number 8?! I am speechless... and Anders, of course Mario is important!

The latest Mario news for you guys that get it three hours later. The Toronto Maple Leafs are in talks with Mr Lemieux right now. He can play on the same line as Eric Lindros and Tie Domi (1st goal in 37 games? ).
If your looking for Prime Ministers, pull out some multi-coloured Cdn money and pick one (the other one is QE2, the queen, not a Prime Minister).

Yes, Pamela felt that his business is cruel toward chickens and he should not be prominently featured.

Never did I imagine that my blog would be the place for breaking hockey news. I feel so honoured.

That baseball news, however, should be in that list somewhere above the election. It is far too important and exciting!

Sadly, the only coloured money in my wallet right now is shown here. I don't think he's a prime minister. Plus I would really hope that any reader with multi-coloured Cdn money would also be able to name a prime minister.
