I think people are worrying over nothing. Governments come and go, and for the most part, everything stays the same.

I'm not really a fan of this though, for the simple reason that we just spent a tonne of money for a pointless election where almost half of eligible voters didn't care and where the results didn't change much at all. Given the recession, I don't think we need to spend money on another election.

On the otherhand, I have been a little concerned about the Conservative governments plans (or lack thereof) for dealing with the recession and the looming potential social catastrophe. They seem to be insistant that we should just move along and that there is nothing to see... If the Liberals, NDP, and Bloc think that they have a better plan, then they should do something to try and get it through.
