To many people, the world of politics is boring all the time. But to the group of people that thoroughly enjoy politics, it is exciting and intense most of the time. So when a day comes a long when not a lot is supposed to happen, we take a deep breath and consider finally getting something done that doesn’t consider politics. For a career journalist, this may mean working on a piece regarding something other than politics. For a blogger who happens to have a job outside of journalism, this means getting some real work done. You know, work that actually pays.
Well today is one of those days. Not a whole lot is going on in Canadian politics. Foreign Affairs Minister Lawrence Cannon is holding a press conference on new sanctions against Iran, but that really is all there is as far as scheduled events. In my riding it is a little more exciting as the Liberal Express finally makes it to Cambridge, but in terms of nationwide impact, little is happening. I will of course be live blogging the event (which is only supposed to a whistle stop) starting at 1:15pm ET. I will attempt to setup a “Cover-it-Live” liveblog, but if that doesn’t work I will of course be using Twitter.
Tomorrow should be a much more interesting day as the Industry committee meets to discuss the long form census.
In terms of Leaders, Harper is unheard from, Ignatieff is in Guelph, Cambridge, and Kitchener today, and Layton is in Winnipeg.
As long as the day is as slow as the schedule is, I might actually get some work done. Keeping my fingers crossed!
