Even though the TV show has been cancelled, you can check out my archived page on CBC's "ZeD" website: http://zed.cbc.ca/go?user_id=20849&c=contentPage (You'll have to copy and paste the URL.)
I'm going to have say a combination of words that I hoped to never say: "Prime Minister Harper". However, there is some good news. It's a minority government, and the number of NDP seats in the House of Commons has increased by about 50%. I'm disappointed that Saskatchewan again elected mostly Conservatives and didn't elect any NDP candidates, reinforcing the stereotype that "the West" is Conservative.

I'm a member of the Saskatchewan Playwrights Centre and the Saskatoon Writers' Coop. I was a member of Twenty-Fifth Street Theatre's (now defunct) Playwrights Unit. My plays (short, one-act and full-length) have been performed at Regina's Globe Theatre (two plays), Saskatoon's Twenty-Fifth Street Theatre,the Saskatchewan Playwrights Centre's Spring Festival of New Plays (one play in Regina and another in Saskatoon), the Saskatoon Fringe Theatre Festival (several plays) and the Edmonton Fringe Theatre Festival. Comic monologues that I've written have appeared on CBC Radio and in "2000% Cracked Wheat" (an anthology of prairie humour published by Coteau Books in 2000). I have a Bachelor of Arts with Honours in English and Drama, and a Certificate in Teaching English as a Second Language (CERTESL). In addition to writing, I have a lot of experience in acting and directing.

I've taken a wee bit of comfort in the notion that our fellow flatlanders aren't necessarily redneck grunts when they vote Conservative. It occured to me that, with the folding in of the Reform/Alliance/whatever they were called, many folks out here believe this party actually gives the West a voice. After generations of alienation, they'll grasp at any straw, no matter how disgusting. The consolation I draw is that they're a bit dumb, but not dour and mean. -ML
Good point, ML!
