cordelianne: (Buffy Future is Bright)
Hi! Hi! I can't believe I haven't posted in so long! And when that happens I keep feeling that my return needs to be significant which then means I never get around to posting. So vicious cycle. heh. I'm doing well, just really busy with the new part-time Library School studies along with my full-time job.

BUT! I'm so appalled and scared by the way politics are heading these days, especially in Canada, that I have to post. I know I don't usually post about politics but I feel this is something everyone should see. Stephen Harper (Conservative leader and PM of Canada) plagiarizing from the Australian leader John Howard (back in 2003 when Harper was the Opposition leader):




At my university, UofT, plagiarism is taken very seriously, as it should be. We can get expelled for it. I hope all voters take this instance of blatant plagiarism as seriously.

Also, I feel everyone should read this article:

Stephen Harper and the Rising Clout of Canada's Religious Right.

It's a really interesting examination into Stephen Harper's affiliation with the extreme right evangelical Christians. It's quite long but worth reading for anyone concerned about how dangerous the right wing Christians are to all of us (especially for the LGBT community).

And now that I've posted, hopefully I'll post more often! With fun things too! :D
