PHOTO: Tejas Aivalli, vice-president of the Political Science Association at UTM, tries to conceal his anger after losing a game of rock-paper-scissors to Mississauga-Erindale MP Omar Alghabra, who repeatedly cheated by using both hands. "This is how everyone plays in Ottawa," said Alghabra, unapologetic.
I'm just kidding. There was no rock-paper-scissors tournament. Alghabra, who actually made two stops at the University of Toronto Mississauga last week, was on hand to answer questions about Afghanistan, nuclear isotopes, copyright law, post-secondary education tuition, and pretty much everything else.
He also mentioned that it was the two-year anniversary (on Wednesday) of him being elected to represent Mississauga-Erindale. That also meant it was the two-year anniversary of Stephen Harper becoming prime minister. Two years is forever with a minority government. Surely Harper's itching for an election, and a chance at the majority. Unless, of course, he's scared he can't secure a majority.
Another season, another round of election speculation.
MPs return to the House of Commons this week. Police are asking everyone to contain their excitement.
