I WANT TO EAT A NUT OF LAERMA!

Well, it's official.Quebec voters go to the polls on April 14th. I, for one, will be voting ADQ (L�Action d�mocratique du Qu�bec... cough, cough.. how about a little English on that Website?) for their (relatively) right-wing policies, even if Dumont got wussy, as I've said before, and dropped the Flat Tax proposal, but I'm no bandwagon-jumper (not that that bandwagon hasn't lost a wheel or two since last year) as I voted ADQ in 1998 (I think I was one of the few Anglophones that did). But all you English-speaking (Quebec) Liberal voters needn't worry about them "losing my vote" (in quotation marks because, since I didn't vote for them last time, my vote isn't theirs to lose), as I'm in a safe Liberal riding (Vaudreuil), so my vote will add to the overall provincial percentage of the ADQ and nothing more. I don't know how much I'll talk about this... possibly more than I would talk about it otherwise since I'm really bored waiting for the war to start (as is Mark Steyn).

One fun little thing I noticed browsing the links in the article I linked to at the beginning of this post... the Bloc Pot Party (pro-marijuana) gets full props from me for having a fully bilingual site... and then gets even more props from me for having an amusing pic of Kerropi (the Japanese frog character from the Sanrio (Hello Kitty) empire) smoking a joint. I thought I might have voted for them in 1994, the first provincial election where I was old enough to vote, but they say on their site that they've only been around since 1998. Maybe I was hoodwinked into voting Liberal that time, or was the Equality Party still around? (I honestly don't remember who I voted for in 1994.) Anyhow, I'm not voting for the Bloc Pot, but, should any Bloc Potters doing a Google vanity search read this, I do fully support your legalization agenda even if I have no interest in toking up myself (at least no interest in smoking it... I might try a brownie once or twice out of curiousity).
