After spending the last two months obsessed with the provincial level of government, it's now time to refocus on its unstable older brother, the federal level of government.
Today, our lovely Governor-General Michaelle Jean will read out Prime Minister Stephen Harper's Speech from the Throne.
The speech will lay out Harper's plan for this year, and it will likely poke Liberal scabs to try to make them bleed.
If Harper pokes at those scabs forcefully enough, and Liberal leader Stephane Dion cries "uncle," then the pols will be heading onto the campaign trail in the next week or so.
We're getting ahead of ourselves, though. The vote on the speech will be later this week.
Tonight, it's just the speech.
And the media will demand that Dion take a stand and say whether or not he'll support the speech in a vote later in the week. Dion will likely say he's going to take time to meet with his caucus to see if they can support it.
The Bloc and the NDP have already said they won't support it, so it's completely up to Dion and the Grits.
It will be an interesting night, and an interesting week.
