You're right about Eartha Kitt, she is going for sultry but in the wrong hands (ears?) that song does for Christmas what the slutty nurse/devil/police officer costume does for Hallowe'en.

I am aware of the differences between a parliamentary system and a presidential one. Your initial tweet: "It'd be an event for discussion, education & debate re. our system & what could strengthen, improve & advance parliamentary democracy" invited criticism of that system. I suppose I just feel cheated. In the Liberal leadership convention, Dion (in third place) joined forces with Kennedy (in fourth) to take the Leadership. Now, the Liberal party is using that same tactic to take the Government. While legal and fully within Constitutional bounds, it just feels wrong. When the government comes into power through back-room deals rather than through the electoral process, the feeling of helplessness and "feigned exhaustion" is a natural response. At the end of the day though, things are moving too fast for the moment to predict where things will fall on January 26 when Parliament resumes. Ignatieff and Harper seem to be more willing to talk, and we'll see where that goes. JohnD'Oh :) Hey Meegs,

The Obama factor was a perfect storm of poor economic times/frustration with Bush/charisma squared - plus the 1st 'real' online election that country's ever seen...

As seen by our poor voter turnout. Many of us were more concerned with the Obamamania down there than the minority Conservative government that we voted in (again) in our own country. So as much as there's buzz of a coalition government, I suspect that not enough people will not care enough for that to happen either.
