Last night's dream:
I was on an island - not the sand-covered paradise in a sea of blue water, but a rocky little thing with a cave and very little actual ground outside of that cave - and I had a large TV (or the sky was my TV? I'm not sure) to watch the party leaders make their big televised election speeches (Elizabeth May was, obviously, not in attendance). As I was watching, Ignatieff was surrounded by a horde (crowd? Pack? Litter? Flock?) of birds, which might have been seagulls, pidgeons, or doves but I'm really not sure, and they carried him off screen. Harper and Layton continued on as though that didn't matter, but as I was watching suddenly the flock of birds appeared on my island and flew Ignatieff into the cave behind me. He was screaming (in a high-pitched voice) "no! you can't do this to me, I speak for Canada! I speak for the people! YOU ARE NOT PEOPLE, YOU ARE BIRDS!"
It makes me giggle in that worried way where I don't know if I should be giggling or seeking medical help.
Though, seriously, I wish the Liberals didn't have him as a leader. Paul Martin wasn't wonderful but at least he didn't come aross as an overwhelming power-hungry dickface.
I know who I'm voting for! It won't matter at all because we don't have proportional representation (fuck you first-past-the-post system) but I will vote this year!
