Hey Everyone....
A few words on Canadian Politics.
For the life of me I can't understand why the Liberals are skipping some of the most obvious tools this election... I know that the Liberals are crooked (to some extent) but that doesn't mean the Tories aren't.
Harper would have us be America Minor, but that's just not what Canadian Values are.
Here are some quoes from Stephen Harper...
"The NDP could be described as basically a party of liberal Democrats, but it's actually worse than that, I have to say. And forgive me jesting again, but the NDP is kind of proof that the Devil lives and interferes in the affairs of men."
"In terms of the unemployed, of which we have over a million-and-a-half, don't feel particularly bad for many of these people. They don't feel bad about it themselves, as long as they're receiving generous social assistance and unemployment insurance."
"Canada is a Northern European welfare state in the worst sense of the term, and very proud of it."
"I was asked to speak about Canadian politics. It may not be true, but it's legendary that if you're like all Americans, you know almost nothing except for your own country. Which makes you probably knowledgeable about one more country than most Canadians."
"[Y]our country [the USA], and particularly your conservative movement, is a light and an inspiration to people in this country and across the world."
"This party will not take its position based on public opinion polls. We will not take a stand based on focus groups. We will not take a stand based on phone-in shows or householder surveys or any other vagaries of pubic opinion... In my judgment Canada will eventually join with the allied coalition if war on Iraq comes to pass."
"I don't know all the facts on Iraq, but I think we should work closely with the Americans."
I'm not saying vote Liberal. I understand that many people want to punish the Liberals for Adscam, Option Canada and Sponsorship... BUT don't punish Canada by putting in a person who berates Canada to other countries and wants to be Americas Lackey.
For the record... I am voting Green...
Be well friends

What a fucking asshole! I always thought of him as George jr. jr. but I didn't know he was THAT bad. I think I'm going to steal that for my next update. If you don't mind.
