This Thursday, there is no knit group for me. Fred, Peter and I are off on a little, post-winter jaunt to Ottawa. While most Canadians seek warmer climes for their travelling pleasure this time of year, we have decided to see what we can do to help the politicians run the country. Such a difference you will notice after our visit! :-)
Friday morning, we have seats reserved for Question Period. I've read the protocol and see that we can't even applaud! I guess that means booing is out too. I hope the politicians are in fine fettle. What fun to see them attacking, yelling, shaking fists at each other. Democracy in action.
Over the weekend, we'll take in the National Art Gallery, The National War Museum, National Aviation Museum and Fred's favourite - The Royal Canadian Mint! (I see there is a boutique at the Mint. Wonder what they sell?) Add in lots of fine food, a hotel with a pool, a chamber maid to make my bed and tidy my room, wandering the ByWard Market and I see a wonderful antidote to a long winter and a bad cold.
Any messages you would like conveyed to the Prime Minister?

Yes, I have a comment for our Prime Minister.... Please quit!!!
They say it is a waste of 300 million dollars to vote again, but Stephen wasted over a billion dollars for a three day G8 fiasco, so a paltry 300 million to get rid of him is money well spent, anyone would be better than having a dictator at the helm.........
Have a great trip - I love our nation's capital.
And let ole Stevie know that I (and most of us) still consider it THE GOVERNMENT OF CANADA and am completely offended at his effrontery in calling it THE HARPER GOVERNMENT.
Not in my country, bub.
Tell him he's had his kick at the cat and it's time to get lost. But now the big question.... Who should it be?????????
Please tell all the leaders of ALL the parties to quit behaving like children and to think about the people of the nation, not about the keeping or getting of power. Its a temp job. I'd like them all to remember that a little more often.
Tell him to start packing up 24 Sussex..what a great day you picked for attending the parliament..Sharon
My favourite is the Mint, too! Hope you're having a lovely time.
What a weekend to be in Ottawa.
Sounds like you had an interesting mini vaca planned.
I read the comments with interest as I see that politicians are pretty much the same everywhere. Vermont does have two excellent senators with Leahey and Sanders. They run away with the votes everytime there is an election because they are honest, etc.
