Andrew Coyne on MMP
Sep 24, 2007 in Ideas
I think the most exciting thing happening on Oct. 10 is not the Ontario election but the referendum that goes along with it (that and the fact it’s Hispanic Heritage Month!)
I’m not quite sure why people are having such a hard time getting this MMP system.
It took me about 30 seconds to explain it to someone the other day and they thought it was a half-decent idea.
A lot of lefty-progressive types are banging on the MMP drum hard these last few months and I don’t blame them. If you’re a member of the Green Party that 5-10% of the vote you get every election should translate into actual seats at Queen’s Park.

It should also make “progress” in this province a little bit more of a stutter step than the wild pendulum swings that you tend to get with the current system.
Even Andrew Coyne
likes the system, arguing that the new system would mean that conservative ideas have a better chance of influencing the debate on a regular basis rather than in one big shot like in the Harris ‘Common Sense’ years.
Andrew, I’m with you on this one.

Mr. Krause is on a new shot this fall with another fine actor, Donald Sutherland, who’s too odd looking and old for me to have a man-crush on. But Krause is another thing.

Michael Hirschcorn in the Atlantic writes about the epidemic of quirk. Run Fatboy Run ipod
Apparently pop culture is just too quirky for its own good.
Super Troopers hd He cites examples such as This American Life, Wes Anderson, Miranda July. All things I love. Well, I bite my thumb at you Michael Hirschorn. One of the great things about contemporary pop culture is the sheer diversity of it now.
For every ten This American Lifes (Lives?) we have an achingly “normal” show like Two and Half Men. For every ten Wes Andersons we have directors like Michael Bay and McG.
I would bite my thumb at you sir, but I’m afraid that you might find that too quirky.

Ok…. I know you’re not going to read this article so I’ll sum it up for you right here with this quote
“Maybe you’re right, but would a bunch of pretty ladies riding around on bicycles be so terrible?”
Nope, I’m going to enjoy the cute women in fashionable fall wear as much as I can before all the bikes get put away for winter.
