So the dust has settled on yet another federal election and once again we are faced with a minority government. As one commentator put it, we now have a chance to "test drive" the Conservative administration for about 18 months. I must say I was impressed with Steven Harper's victory address. He seemed very forthright and focused, however, it will be interesting to see if he, as with any other political leader for that matter, can live up to his promises. The Liberals couldn't and some of the things the Conservatives are promising seem pretty far out there. Reducing the GST? I'll believe that one when I see it. But it is good to finally get a young, aggressive PM who is not a lawyer from Quebec.
I have a few days off now to complete the work on the spare room. I had to do some repairs to our paint job which I damaged taking down the old ceiling grid. Should've done that first I guess. Not a big deal and the room should be finished by the weekend.
