Minority gov'ts don't last long because its easier for the other parties to rally and call an election. The Liberal Party will get in again next term I am sure, there is no scandal this time haha. Hopefully the next election will be soon... Very soooooon. Anyway, what was the scandal that occured last time? |

I think its this year, or next. They usually coincide with the American election. It can be called early though, so things are always in the air.

Dude, I've seen it every damn month of the year. But its not cold. The snow melts before it even hits the ground. It gets very damn hot here in the summer for a few months though.

It always snows in Canada. Always.
But thanks to the dime-sized black hole over Canada, some of the time it will fall upwards and there can be fairly normal summers and stuff. However it also means you guys don't have gravity for like 8 hours a day.

Its not always snowing up here. The weather in calgary is very close to that in spokane. We got snow from early January to the very end of April this year. We didnt even have snow for christmas. From what I saw on the news with the ice storms, America got more snow than we did.

That's because global warming is monkeying with your black hole. =[
Winter was weird up here in Neohio. Sometimes it snowed like shit, other times we had some crazy long dry spells. Other times, the snow just lingered for a good long time.

Yeah, you guys didn't have to dig yourselves out of 92387923 centimeters of snow like we did this year. :P I swear, the snow needs to go back to the Atlantic and Prairies during the winters. LEAVE ONTARIO ALONE!!! *shakes fist* |

You people and your measuring temperature in centipedes!
It's pretty much the only metric I can't convert in my head. =[

It's pretty much the only metric I can't convert in my head. =[ hmm... if you don't like centipedes then use catapillers. simple math F = 1.8c + 32 ex. f = (1.8 x 24) + 32 = 75.2 It is not bug science... anyways Justinzero don't come to phoenix az in the summer. It is 48C typically here. What part of arizona is your girlfrind from? |

Is USA the only country in the world that uses fahrenheit? I think it is. Maybe UK uses it too? Or at least used to.

Fahrenheit is awesome.
It was supposed to be based on the average temperature of the human body, which was supposed to be 100 on the scale. But the guy who developed it based it off his wife's temperature, and her standard temperature was abnormally high.
Celsius' founding isn't half as fine a parable as that, I fear.
Also, Britain is officially Metric, but a lot of people still use Imperial measurements. Hell, I know Brits who still give their weight in stones.

Miles sound better to the ear that kilometers.
That's actually the only reason I don't use metric myself; the names have so little poetry or organicness to them, as I never grew up with them.

Its 28 c today.... and tomorrow is supposed to be 30. This long weekend is going to rule! Blargh. It's raining over here right now. I think it's going to rain tomorrow too. At least this should keeps the idiots with the firecrackers indoors throughout the weekend. I'll never understand why people set them off BEFORE the actual day they're supposed to go off on. :P Oh yeah, if there's one thing I must say about Canada is that our plane tickets are stupid expensive when it comes to flying from one end of the country to the other. See, I'm heading to the Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle at the end of August and the prices vary between $600 - $730 right now. 9__9 Oddly enough, even if it was just to Vancouver, the prices won't be that much different. WTF!? |
