Flash News for Today

It's late, but I thought I jot down some comments in the blog today...

1. There's no Federal election yet, although the Conservatives did introduce a non-confidence motion today... probably tomorrow. The Liberals are already making extensive use of another survey conclusion: that voters are extremely skittish about Conservative Leader Stephen Harper. The poll suggests Mr. Harper's personal unpopularity helps sustain the Liberal party; almost 40 per cent of people who said they would vote Liberal cited Mr. Harper as their main motivation.


2. Liverpool has qualified for the knockout stage of the Champions League after a scoreless draw at Anfield. Peter "Too Much Crouch, Too Little Tiger" is still without a goal for the Reds despite numerous chances.


3. Had at least 10 centimetres of snow this morning and driving was not good. It's really cold outside (feels like -11'C) and this is the first snow to stay on the ground


4. Hit a milestone in my Weightwatchers program today... I've lost exactly 20lbs in the last 11 weeks.
