I guess I should add a proper description. Canada had an election yesterday, after the govt. fell 8 weeks ago, for contempt of Parliament. The Prime Minister was reelected with a majority, but with a huge shift in the opposition. Our NDP, New Democratic Party, swept the Liberals into oblivion, to become the new opposition. Things should be very interesting going forward.
So happy! My friends from Fame cards printed my elections serie in 3 beautifully executed 105/155 mm free cards, distributed in their network. There is one month until the elections, i hope they will get good public attention. Thank you Fame:)

Paris's Art Nouveau ironwork always delights me. I've been trying to get a shot of one of these wonderfully decorated Metro stops for a while. This photo also captures the fact that I was in Paris during the recent elections. I like the combination of words on the signs in the background.

We'll have an election tomorrow (29 July 2007). It's for the House of Councillors. At elections, all the posters should be put on this official board, according to the election laws.
[UPDATE: 30 July 2007]
The results came over night. Of the twenty candidates in Tokyo (some of them don't have their posters on this board), five are elected, whom I've marked as "notes" on the picture. The largest opposition, the Liberal Party (LJP), took two out of five. One seat went to an incubent member from the Komei Party, which is no surprise. An independent candidate, Mr Kawada, took one seat. And surprisingly, the LDP failed to get their incubent member through but the newbie-cutie Ms Marukawa did win a seat.
Overall, the election's result is a sweet victory for the Liberal Party of Japan. At the same time, it is a nightmare for the the governing Liberal Democrat Party, who are not liberal or democratic in my view. They have lost the control of the Upper House for the first time in fifteen years or so. This must be hard, even if not unbearable, for the prime minister Shinzo Abe, who is a grandson of Nobusuke Kishi (a war criminal) and Kan Abe (a pre-war era pacifist), and a son of a former foreign minister.
The Financial Times has published a good article, "Japan’s voters give Abe a thrashing":
www.ft.com/cms/s/620ca81e-3dfa-11dc-8f6a-0000779fd2ac.html
According to the reports, the turnout was 58.64 per cent, which is relatively high -- you may have read how Japanese voters are lazy, and it is sadly true. Shinzo Abe's arrogant government has "reformed" educational principles, and wants to "reform" our constitution, which will change Japan for ever, but less than 60 per cent of voters had their say. Don't say it's "because the Japanese are shy" or "they can't say no". 40 per cent are not interested. 40 per cent do not think their votes would change anything. I think this is what is called "apathy".
The left-wingers, the Social Democrats and the Communist Party, are now totally marginalised. Their decline bagan years ago, but this time, it's ultimate. I think they should have joined together if they were to defend the Article Nine. Both the LDP and the LJP are willing to get rid of the Article Nine, while the majority of the Japanese people want to keep it (according to a recent poll).

The guy in the suit came up to me and the people I was with (also foreigners) and said in English "I am comedian!" So...he was a comedian. But it's election season, so it had something to do with that too...
