subject Les conservateurs multiplient les promesses préélectorales; Stephen Harper poised to reap benefits of election law changes
Dear Stephen,
I am still alive. I survived vacation. We arrived back in Montreal last night, a couple days early, to find that you might be at a rally in TMR tomorrow to call the election? WTF? Won’t this make it the longest in post-war history? Won’t it cost the most? Oh right: you’ve got the cash, $100-million or more. And you’re the boss, and what you say goes. I guess I’d better get out there and get my hundred signatures. And read up on Elections Canada rules and regulations.

subject La campagne électorale officiellement lancée; Harper cranks up partisan language in Montreal campaign stop
Dear Stephen,
I am still alive. I survived the meandering protest that greeted your arrival in Montreal. I brought my Everyday Goalie gear and suited-up while the group wandered back and forth from the front and rear entrances to the YM-YWHA Centre trying to anticipate which one you would take. And you fooled almost the whole lot with that decoy campaign bus which arrived first at the main entrance, drawing almost everybody back so that you could sneak in the back door. Sneaky! But I know you prefer to play to the converted crowd, and I’m sure they decked the auditorium out for you in style, flags and all. On the home front, we found a live bed-bug tonight and so are going through the routines again of clothes and bedding in the dryer on high heat and then in quarantine. Rose ate over at her friend’s house but Sol was inconsolable after I left for the rally. He hadn’t napped and ended up asleep in Clo’s arms during supper. He woke up later and ate well, and both kids fell asleep quickly after stories. Now it’s too damn late to do anything else, but I should be preparing for the campaign, preparing for my exhibition at Le Lieu in November, preparing for my first day back at work tomorrow… But instead there is Facebook, sucking my brain dry. At least I knocked a few home-reno items off the list today: Got the window frame primed and painted, and added the aluminum angles under the under-counter strip lights. And unloaded a camping box. And washed a couple loads of laundry. And now: 78 days and counting!

Dear Stephen,
I am still alive. I survived another Monday, and my first day back at work after vacation. JP was away and so was IGA (she broke her wrist a few weeks ago – ouch!), so Kandis was filling in on some admin. I didn’t do much, updated some things here and there, prepared some stuff for tomorrow, took a paint swatch I cut off the Rhino Lounge wall to City Paints to be matched, returned some impulsive, useless items to Pharmaprix, deposited some cheques to the bank (my grandmother, already generous in that she bought us meals as well as sneakily paid our motel room in Lunenburg, also gave us money!), picked up the kids from daycare (surprisingly, they had great days, even Sol, who had been all crotchety during drop-offs in the week leading up to vacation). We had supper tonight at Kim and J-Ms new place and Kim and I tried to plan a bit more our debate-performance for Viva. We’re meeting Marie-Josée at Optica on Friday to clarify things further. We need to rent a space in Papineau. I’ll look into options this week. And now: 77 days and counting!

Dear Stephen,
I am still alive. I survived another day at work. I watched bits and pieces of a documentary called History on the run: The media and the ’79 election’. It follows three or four journalists on the campaign trail. Quite a different era, but remarkable in that even then there was an awareness and cynicism towards the style of campaigning on image and sound-bite. In that sense, not much has changed. What has changed is my meeting with the Green Party candidate tomorrow evening, as we had planned a picnic at Parc Jarry with the AC crew, so we’ll swap signatures on Thursday instead. Also we’re getting the second (and hopefully final) treatment tomorrow morning for our uninvited guests.

Dear Stephen,
I am still alive. Survived another day of work. Checked out some of the VR available at the Rhino Lounge and have to admit the videos are quite extraordinary, though watching for more than fifteen minutes made my eyes hurt and my balance feel off. The resolution could be better, but the concept is intriguing: a headset with Bubbles-like glasses that magnify the source playing from a smartphone. Watched a piece on Mongolian yak-herders and another about a dinosaur, all created by the studio a picnic chezAnne for the AC get-together (thunderstorms were threatening, but never appeared). We cycled there and back, stopping at a park on the way for the kids to blow off some steam. It was a fun evening but a bit late, Clo made beds while I brushed teeth and read stories before getting kids to bed. We had the second treatment today and are still on eggshells; no new discoveries except more dead bodies, but even that is disconcerting. Oh, I did transfer some photos to my work computer and have put the golf picture up on my website, here”s a link: https://sites.google.com/site/chrislloydprojects/home/britts

Dear Stephen,
What a week it’s been – already! I haven’t written you since the MacLeans debates, which I missed, though I heard you held up well, despite having to admit we are in a recession. Or sliding towards one (under your steady, experienced guidance no less!). But I digress. What has been happening lately? Our friend Sarah was back in town to empty her storage space, and I helped her on Friday move items to Renaissance. Later that night we hired a sitter and went dancing all night long, it was literally all night long as we were invited to an after-party and didn’t get home until 6am. It’s amazing what a little MDMA can do to keep you going. Needless to say, the rest of the weekend, even until tonight, we’ve been a little overtired and slow to recover. Not to say we haven’t done anything else: Marché des Possibles on Saturday, a visit with the cousins on Île Perrot and swimming, IKEA (to buy shelving for the studio), and last night an outdoor performance of Fifi Brindacier in a park way down in Émard somewhere. And I still managed to survive work yesterday and today, churning out new layouts to the next exhibition floor plans, and sift through Elections Canada websites and manuals to get my candidacy in order. So much to do, so little time! And it’s almost 11 and I’m tired and sweaty and just want to go to bed and read the new Yorker. Have you heard about the Cascadia subduction zone?

Dear Stephen,
I am still alive. I survived another day of work, where I took a good chunk of the afternoon in a photo shoot with Kim at the Phi Centre (Éspace A was not in use and the wood panels made a nice backdrop). We were making our “debate” shots, you know the ones, similar to what the media uses to announce the official debates, always with the party leaders in mid-phrase, mouths agape. So we did that. I took the plunge and had my beard professionally trimmed and my haircut at the new barber shop that opened a few months ago on the ground floor of our office building, Maison Privé. We had sushi for super tonight, Rose quite liked it but Sol ate mostly pasta and tofu that he dipped in humus. After bedtime for the kids I went to Jessie and Andréa’s to install a light in their bathroom and a shelf in their closet. Tomorrow I plan to tackle the new shelves in my closet. And now I’m going to bed.

Dear Stephen,
I am still alive. Survived another steady day at work. Helped set up the gear for the education kino club film screening tonight (My Beautiful Laundrette – haven’t seen it but it looks really, really good. About everyday life under Thatcherism). Spoke on the phone with Kim and Marie-Josée to iron out some dates for our Viva! debate; seems our previously-chosen dates conflict with the regular programming, so we may bump it up to October 5 or 6. Had to drop my bike of at The Yeti to repair or possibly replace my rear rim; it had become all bent, almost unrideable. And Clo was out tonight with Pip, J-M and Thomas came over after work for an impromptu play-date but didn’t stay for supper. Rose ate all her supper and even ate Sol’s crispy fish as well. I think I gave them too much bread for snacks. They went to bed OK. Tomorrow morning I have an Elections Canada campaign planning workshop, then we head north to spend the weekend with S. Roberts et al, swimming and (hopefully) relaxing and enjoying the summer. Are you taking any time off during the campaign? I made a comment on Facebook tonight about how your party could continue to spend on new ads, but that the more you produce, the more you actually reinforce the idea that Canada needs to change its leadership. You see, using the phrase “proven leadership” over and over as the country slides into a recession after years of deficits, probably gives the average voter the idea that you’ve simply led us her, to this spot of stagnating growth and prosperity. And really, claiming that only the conservatives protect “your” TFSA just reinforces the fact that the average voter DOESN’T HAVE A TFSA. Just sayin’.

Dear Stephen,
I am still alive. I missed the Montreal Pride parade, but so did you. “Reporters who tried to approach LeBreton didn’t get a chance to ask her questions about the issue because Conservative staffers whisked her away to an area behind a black curtain.” Hilarious!
Know what makes a 5.5 year-old really, really happy? A full day at a chalet on a lake, steak for supper, sleeping in the car on the way home, waking up to watch cartoons and eat cereal then crêpes, cycling to the Laurier Pool, eating ice cream, stopping at a water park on the cycle home, getting gum from the dep, and watching more cartoons before supper. Then having a bath and getting not two not three but FOUR Dr. Seuss stories read to you, then off to bed: a perfect day.
Me, I also put together a snazzy new IKEA shelving system in my closet. Just finished. Now off for a shower and then bed. Know what makes a perfect weekend for me? The same as above, plus some sex and/or a BJ. And some beer. And the heat, but that was obvious from the pool mention, no?

subject Procès Duffy: Wright nie avoir tenté de s’ingérer dans la vérification de Deloitte; Five things about Canada’s ‘space elevator’ (and what you might pass while going to the top)
Dear Stephen,
I am still alive. I survived having my position at DHC abolished. They offered me 3 months severance and I can keep my phone. The phone is a 4S and on its last legs, but maybe I can trade it up for a 5. I can keep the number too, just need to get the go-ahead from the IT department.
So it is a bit of an end of an era; I started working at DHC (as you know) way back in February of 2008. Seven years and a bit. James looks like he took the news harder than I did. In a way, it was a bit of a relief for me, as now I feel I can really concentrate on the goalie sculpture, the show at Le Lieu and, of course, the campaign. But I’ll miss the job security and health plan. Now I must look for a private plan. And go on EI.
James took me to lunch at Pub Victoria, then we bought a hard drive at Bureau en gros so I could back up my personal files and photos. Biked home, got the kids, biked to Parc de Gaspé and met Clo there and cooled off in the splash pool. Met Michael and Lowell as well and they came back to our place for supper. Listened to a free jazz band on the steps of Ste-Cécile. Enjoyed the heat wave. After the kids were in bed Clo and I discussed options, the changes to our lives. I’m glad to be able to finally make Jen’s Westmount Noiseless Patented roulage painting, perhaps tomorrow. I’ll make the stretcher bars for it on Thursday, when I stop by William to grab the last of my stuff.
I feel mostly sad for DHC; in the end, I just don’t know how losing me benefits the organization, or what direction this “restructuring” is taking them.
So tired, but so hot. Hard to sleep.
PS I just LOVE the viral video circulating of that CPC supporter cussing out the reporters, and the memes created from it, the posters, the Beaverton article, everything about it is pure gold.

Dear Stephen,
I am still alive. I survived my first day home, technically still on payroll but not in the office. I tried to figure out health plan, dental benefits (I have an appointment Friday morning – should I get that molar extracted? Not enough notice however), washed some laundry, made crêpes for the family for breakfast, dropped the kids off at daycare, then biked downtown had lunch with Victoria at le Cartet ($$$) to get her side of the story and then cycled to Westmount to get a roulage of the Noiseless Patented for Jen. It took awhile to find one that wasn’t too worn down. Found a nice Light and Power one as well, so she has a choice. Cycled home, had a shower, met Clo, we picked the kids up in the car and drove to Outremont pool, splashed around for over an hour, met Femke there, played in the park, home around 8, too hot and too late to make supper, we had all been snacking throughout the evening and the kids didn’t seem hungry. Bartholomew and the Oobleck had arrived in the mail so that was the bedtime story. Rose is loving the new Dr. Suess anthology (Six by Seuss) and it makes bedtime a bit more entertaining. What is also entertaining is the Angry Old Man (Old Yeller) the #cpc supporter yelling at journalists and calling them “lying pieces of shit” and how it just keeps turning up again and again and again in different forms throughout the Interweb.
Oh, easy come easy go: we lost our auditor, Kim and I. His office only wants to do audits for bi campaigns so they can claim the full $1500 maximum subsidy from Elections Canada. Auditors are entitled to the subsidy of 3% of campaign expenses, so we’d have to be spending $50,000 to hit the $1500 mark. Back to square one. Know of any CAs in Quebec? Oh right, I forgot: you don’t look at tax returns.

Just past midnight I’m writing just to get it out and done, a little bit of copy-paste headlines for the subject and we’ll be done. Started drafting my cover letter for the design job at CCA but I’ll finish it tomorrow after my dentist appointment. Ran around all morning with Spencer getting rid of the old Telefunken radio that I was storing at William Street, and picked up a slide for the kids from Emily. Gosh, the afternoon melted away, I biked downtown to visit with the Education girls – Charlie’s Angels – and then home, kids, splash pool, home, supper, stories, bed. And suddenly its midnight, with a smattering of read articles and emails and a bit of research here and there and I still need a quick shower to wash the stickiness of the day off. Did I tell you that I have been invited to participate in a group show in Toronto in mid-September? Now I’m trying to decide if I post all the letters to a website or add 6 more years of frame-by-frame shots of letters to the video I made in Chicoutimi in 2009. Which would you prefer? The letters on a website would be searchable and readable, but the video is mesmerizing in that the addressee is always constant, and the blur of dates and text whirs by in a Tehching Hsieh kinda way. Either option is a fair bit of work on my part but could be used in the show at Le Lieu as well. Right. Shower. Soon.

There was supposed to be a farewell BBQ for me in Parc Jarry but it was cancelled this morning as many people couldn’t make it. I had booked Luisa to babysit and had her come anyway, as I thought Clo and I could use the evening off, but she would have rather stay in. She is super-stressed about my financial situation.

After supper and his bath he had another caca that I managed to get him over the toilet for so technically his first in the bowl. Maybe this will be a turning point in his potty training.

Worked away on another To-Do list today, didn’t feel as accomplished as yesterday: cycled to the Mac-Urbain store to get a new case for the new phone, made inquiries towards printing election signs (getting at least three quotes), working a bit on texts, met Jen as she picked up her painting, met Louis-Alexandre as he was borrowing the car to drive Romie back home, got sucked into Facebook a few times. Hung some laundry. Washed some dishes. Bought some groceries, prepared the swim bag, picked the kids up from daycare and drove to Outremont pool, but just as we met Femke and were about to rinse off, someone vomited in the pool and so it was emptied of all swimmers, leading Rose to cry big fat tears of the kind of sadness that only a 5 year-old who was about to do one of her favourite activities with her BFF could cry. We played at the park instead, dropped Femke off because it was starting to rain, came home and made pâtes tout nu (avoiding another meltdown when I offhandedly suggested we have leftover rice) both she and Sol ate with appetite even the tofu. And I fell asleep with the little guy, even though last night we started trying to cut that cord. Clo was out at Pip’s place, celebrating her birthday.

She doesn’t need a “rentrer progressif” – she is eager for school, for all the activities and meeting new friends. For me, I spent the afternoon adding letters one of my webistes for the Toronto group show, emptying the dresser in the studio and lugged it to the front lawn, added more shelves, threw out some recycling, wrote emails and puttered, cleaned a bit, booked a van to take the dresser to Jacob Wren but stopped to look at a storefront on St-Hubert first and when I got to UHaul it was closed so I had no van. In the end it worked out fine, I picked Michael up in my car, we drove to Anne’s apartment to dismantle the bunk bed, even managed to take all the pieces except the platform back home with me. Well, they’re still in the car. The platform is quite heavy and I plan to get it Saturday, when she has a van herself and more helpers to help her move. We plan to install this bunk for Rose and give Sol Roses’ current bed, but fit it underneath this new bunk. Anyway, Clo is still very stressed about our financial situation while I am planning more and more pie-in-the-sky campaign events, so she doesn’t exactly share my enthusiasm as I look at all these storefronts for rent.

So now we feel like terrible parents, even though on the balance the kids had a good weekend: lots of time spent playing outside, at parks and in the yard, Clo’s parents visited today and brought a tiny pool that the kids loved to splash in (though it didn’t quite work out underneath the slide – Sol scraped his bottom, poor little guy!) We did receive and set up a new bunk for Rose, then took it apart to saw about 8″ off the legs – it was a little claustrophobic, she was quite close to the ceiling. Friday we had Anne-Laure, Christophe, Victor and Charlotte over for supper – it was tons of fun, but a late night for the kids. Saturday Clo and Rose helped Pip with some packing after an afternoon on the mountain. Tonight S. Roberts came over but this time we had the kids in bed and asleep by 9pm – a record as of late.

I didn’t find one, but did find some intriguing options for if and when we ever move Skol up North.
