Scattered thoughts on my province’s election

I’m actually very glad the Progressive Conservatives won this one. Wildrose was beginning to legitimately terrify me with the idea that they could form a government. It’s unfortunate that PC gets identified with the federal Conservative party, which frankly had much more to gain from a Wildrose government in Edmonton. And what can I say, I really like Alison Redford. She’s competent, genuine, and actually has relevant world experience beyond this province’s borders.

Also, working at a poll for 14 hours is really tiring and I’m going to bed now zzzzzzz

I might make a more articulate post about this after I’ve had some sleep.

Welp, one of my favourite politicians is going to jail.

The good news is that very few people seem to be taking this lying down.

BBC: Ukraine’s former PM jailed over gas deal

Reuters: Ukraine’s EU neighbours to block ties over Tymoshenko

Globe and Mail: PM warns Ukraine’s relations with Canada could be damaged

This seems even more frighteningly relevant than usual right now.
