Stephen Harper is now the 22nd PM of Canada

Well...now he actually is PM. *sighs* I just heard him take the oath that officially gives him the highest office in Canada. Including himself, Stephen Harper's Cabinet has 27 members, compared to Paul Martin's 37. It looks like I might have a Minister representing my riding...Jimmy boy might be Minister of the Indian Affairs... Also, a nice crossing of the floor with David Emmerson, former Minister of Industry as a Liberal, who was elected as a Liberal in his riding now will sit in the front bench on the Government side, former "Paul Martin Liberal". :) I am amused. Now the Conservatives have 125 MPs and with the NDP, that would add up to 154, the CBC reports that the balance of power now lies with the single Independant MP from Quebec, who has already said that he will vote with the Conservatives over all.
Peter MacKay is the Foreign Affairs Minister, tolerable, Stockwell Day is the Public Safety Minister, not so much.
I'm done now, back to preparing for my English presentation and working on my Math. I don't like substitution much, but elimination is delightful most of the time.

Talk to you all later,
Me
