Well, apparently there's some more avian flu going round... The BBC reports that Turkey is doing tests to confirm its 4th possible death because of the virus in humans, but of course it hasn't mutated to human-to-human transmission but still. Not good.

Also, completely unrelated topic, the election and possible Conservative cabinets.
Could my MP (Jim Prentice, AbNor Affairs critic) become a Minister? Wouldn't that be interesting? Would he and Harper be able to agree on the Kelowna Agreement? Quite comically, CBC showed in the same report Jim Prentice being proud of the Kelowna Accord and saying they would honour it to Harper saying they wouldn't want it. Make up your minds guys. If this is the kind of rangling we'll see between the old Progressive Conservatives and Canadian Reform Alliance Party (CRAP) what kind of government will they form?
How long would a Conservative minority government last? Obviously the people don't exactly want another election triggered so work it out gentlemen.
Could this possibly lead to a Conservative majority if they manage to get anything done and not scare most people away?
What kind of power will the NDP have considering the Liberals can agree with the Conservatives on many issues, 90% Gilles tells us and that's probably not far off it.

Anyways, I've got studying to do so I'll pretend like it matters.
Bye readers or more likely Georgeanne :)

Mike.

If we have a conservative majority i think i'm going to puke. I actually think a conservative minority would be good, (not that i like the conservatives), but lets face it the liberals have had power waaaaaaaaaay to long and losing would be good for their egos. (although their egos have been taken down quite a notch already)
