Topic awaiting preservation: Canadian Election

We got to the polls federally here on the 23rd of this month.

Dumbya is very much an issue in the campaign.

Harper, the Conservative leader, has demonstrated close ties with President Bonehead and is himself a fundamentalist xian.

In fact, the Party Harper repesents is the Reform Party, a fundamentalist xian, red-neck association of narrow-minded bigots.

They bought the corpse of the real Conservative Party last year, skinned it and are now parading around in that skin trying to fool people into thinking they are Conservatives.

Well, they are. VERY conservative.

The Liberals are a party which has been in power most of the last 100 years and they are so accustomed to it, they have a tendency to think all tax-payer's money is their own. Right down to a personal level.

They have been caught in a mulit-million dollar scam in which they siphoned off lots of tax money to party coffers.

They are playing as much as possible and as negatively as possible, on Harper's close ties with Dumbya.

So, the Canadian voter is faced with electing a proven band of theives or a band-of-thieves-in-waiting, who would also restrict abortion and gay rights among other theological narrow-mindedness.

There is a third party involved, the NDP. But their leader is a mewling, lickspittle of a little hypocrite who is merely waiting to see which one of the big boys gets the most votes.

The only hope for the average, secular Canadian is; the hope the Confom Party (CON-servative + reFORM), emphasis on the 'CON", gets only a minority government as the Libs are in a flaming dive and deservedly so.

Then, Jack Lenin-the boot-licking NDP guy, will hike up his skirt and bend over to accommodate the wishes of Steven Harper.

Yes... and I've already voted. Thank god for advanced polls. I just can't possibly imagine what it would be like to stand in line with the great unwashed after I've gone to town and spent half a dollar on the hot bath the fire brigade puts on every other friday.

Yes... our election is a bit of a joke alright.

Four surgeons are discussing who has the best patients to operate on.

The first surgeon says, ?I like to see accountants on my operating table because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered.?

The second responds, ?Yeah, but you should try electricians! Everything inside them is color coded.?

The third surgeon says, ?No, I really think librarians are the best; everything inside them is in alphabetical order.?

But the fourth surgeon shut them all up when he observed:

?You?re all wrong. Politicians are the easiest to operate on. There?s no guts, no heart, no brains and no spine, and the head and the ass are interchangeable.?

Bush is only an issue because the liberals are desperate and inventing ties. They did the same thing in the final weeks last election when losing in the polls. Some people are just stupid enough to actually believe Stephen Harper would go to war, or whatever the latest rumor is.

Stephen Harper is definately Preston Manning (the former reform leader - to all the non-Canadians out there) all over again, but updated to be more of a snake. He's creepy, and he hides his true intentions.

This vote, more important than ever, should be a protest vote. Vote Green, Vote libertarian, or don't Vote. These assholes get $1.75 for every vote they get. Why pay them to come up with stupid policies? Stay home and teach them a lesson. Demand something better.

There are much larger issues with the Canadian voting systems anyways. Canada is far too large for a central government, we need to have more power given to the provinces.

While my heart resonates to your post Dan, the close relationship Harper has with Dumbya is no invention.

Isn't speaking out against homosexuality a crime in Canada?

I wonder, were you born mentally deficient or are you just working hard at it?

Only in Canada would American politics play a role in elections.
Hell, in the states it's not about politics, as much as it is pandering to the polls, buzzwords.


Canada, pretty much a safe country until we run out of wood.

It is quite funny really.

The new PM here campaigned on a platform of honest and accountable government. Said things will be different under him-no croneyism, no porkbarrelling, said he would never put anyone into the Senate who was not elected.

His first act was to appoint a party hack, with close ties to Bush's supporters, as his "transition chief". His next act to appoint the former leader of his party as ambassador to the US (he is a right-wing xian nutbar).

Today he welcomed a turncoat from another party into his ranks and appointed to the senate a suppoter who had not even been a candidate!

There are a number of here who were saying all along it would be corruption as usual in Ottawa with the election of the Conform Party...and we were right.
