Well, in Canada, it doesn't happen all that often. I think the last time was in the late 1970's, or early 1980's. First, there has to be a minority gov't, and even when a minority gov't is elected, they usually make deals with another party to keep them in power.
BTW, the gov't just fell on a vote of non-confidence and was found in contempt of Parliament.
The shorter election times are great. They're saying this election will be either May 2 or 9. American politicians always seem to be campaigning for the next election. There have been a lot of campaign style political ads for the past month.
That article about TV super-geniuses detailed pretty much all of my complaints about Numb3rs. He doesn't just know everything about his own field of math -- he knows everything about ALL math.

I see what you did there with the last one, Perkins. Nice.
I was wondering how many people would get the connection there.
Sue,
you seem rather calm about this all. So, does this mean screaming in the streets or because you all are Canadian, it is just more orderly?
Regime change in Canada! Time to invade!

This Saturday is our accepted students day so I have to be here dressed like a professional, and Sunday is supposed to start with wet snow. Pfft. Uninspiring!
It just means another silly election. We've had one every two years since 2004, all returning a Conservative minority. I would like to see the Conservatives be bounced out, but I am not certain it's going to happen.
