dewlineStill recovering from the news of the federal election results of this past Monday. Plenty of ideas as to where we're going next as a nation, and I'm not sure how good most of them are going to be. Call me one of the "Outmaneuvered Majority" yet again, thanks to First Past the Post rules. In Canada as in the UK, it seems, and my sympathies go out to my UK friendlisters who lost out re: the Alternative Voting referendum.
I'll be taking in a couple of the Jane's Walk tours taking place across Ottawa today and possibly tomorrow as well. Call it deep research for possible future editions of the Street Name History series I've been writing for Spacing Ottawa. Also, for fun's sake. And for exercise as well.
(Not sure whether to take in the "Hidden Bronson" or "East Glebe" tours to start the day off. Annoyingly, they're programmed for the same time slot.)
More as I think of it...
