Here's a warning from the crazy cousin in the attic....... |
|
The reason Canada has a Tory government now is not due to the charisma of Steven Harper or the general appeal of Conservative 'principles' whatever they are.
The Tories won in Canada because one candidate, Paul Martin, thought it was his turn to govern and decided to declare a civil war within his own party to satisfy his ambition. Now Martin is a distant and embarrassing memory.
His vanity gave us Harper and his pathetic Liberal replacement, Stéphane Dion.
Be warned America Unity Through Compromise beats defeat by a country mile.

3. It's doubtful and with Dion as Lib leader it would be a disaster. Harper |

is not well liked in Quebec but Dion is viewed as a Liberal Party policy wonk be Quebecers and is an anti-separatist protege of Martin.
Right now Quebec controls parliament by its ability to to say no to the Tories and the Libs.
It's a stalemate until the Tories do something that provokes a non-confidence vote. I think we're stuck with Harper for three more years.

6. We had the Melloney government from 1984-93. Remember the |
|
'Shamrock Summit' when both those retards sung 'When Irish Eyes are Smiling', Melloney turned a blind eye to the Reagan criminal enterprise and their rape of Central America while saying A-OK to NAFTA.
We have suffered Right Wing Hell before and are now once again. The only question is when the Tories will outlive their welcome again.
