-We're in the midst of another hot and humid day in Ottawa. As we keep creeping further into September I keep tricking myself into thinking that we'll soon be past such days - but they keep on coming.
-Our squirrel keeps coming back, though it's damage from this morning's visit wasn't as bad as a few visits. I guess I really need to consider ramping up my cayenne use if I want to got a few days without these guys visiting and tearing everything up.
-So it turns out that the Quebec election was pretty eventful. Not only did the PQ do a little worse than expected (along with the CAQ), the Liberal outperformed expectations. At the end of the day the PQ managed only four more seats than the Liberals (and they were about nine seats short of majority territory). Maybe most impressively, the PQ, the Liberals, and the CAQ all received less than 1/3 of the total vote - though the Liberals and PQ were close with 31% each.
And the least expected development of the night was likely the shooting that occurred at the PQ election night party. Fortunately I had called it a night by the time this happened so I didn't trick myself into thinking that I should watch the coverage as the details of the shooting emerged.
-Aside from the sinkhole coverage, the big news from Ottawa today is that by 2014 there should be a AA team based here. While I'm a little bummed out that we'll have to wait another season, I'm definitely looking forward to attending some minor league baseball.
-So if you're looking for some ongoing courtroom drama consider following the case regarding Toronto's mayor, Rob Ford. It seems that if this conflict of interest based case goes against Ford he could find himself out of a job in the near future, or at least that is one interpretation of the possible outcomes.
