The topic I address on my blog each day is hardly a matter of careful deliberation. I typically read the morning papers / websites, find something that strikes my fancy, and put down my thoughts -- with the only criteria being a self-imposed time limitation of 30 minutes (hence not a lot of attention to editing, as regular readers will undoubtedly have noticed.)
For some reasons, this morning I was struck with indecision and put off this entry til lunch. I briefly considered several options but none seemed quite right. It is the one-year anniversary of the fortieth federal election so a quick retrospective on the year gone by could be considered. Don Martin did something of this in his column today but it didn't really grab me one way or the other.
The other option I considered was the speculation regarding the Harmonized Sales Tax and what it might imply for an election. A bit of NDP grandstanding here, me thinks, and a chance to turn the tables on the Liberals. If the NDP oppose, the Liberals will find a way to avoid an election on this issue. The provincial Liberals in BC and Ontario are parties to this deal and Mr. Ignatieff has enough challenges on his hand without trying to fight an issue that has such awkward dimensions.
There are various options about logos on cheques etc. but that all seems to much "inside baseball" to bore readers with on a week when Parliament isn't even sitting.
Speaking of sports, in previous years I have done one entry gloating about the Toronto Maple Leafs since, at least at the beginning of the season, there is hope within the hearts of Leafs fans. I clearly blew that opportunity this year.
So, since nothing really comes to mind and since I have various deadlines to meet before heading out on a 36 hr trip tomorrow morning, I think I will pass. No blog entry today.
