Oh my...what have my fellow Canadians done.

We were already Stephan Harpers B**** with his Minority Government, now he has 3 times the power.

Glad I voted NDP, too bad it does not matter now.

From MSNBC:

"While Harper's hold on Parliament has been tenuous during his five-year tenure, he has managed to nudge an instinctively center-left country to the right. He has gradually lowered sales and corporate taxes, avoided climate change legislation, promoted Arctic sovereignty, upped military spending....."

"Harper counted on the economy to help hand him the majority. Canada has outperformed other major industrialized democracies through the financial crisis, recovering almost all the jobs lost during the recession while its banking sector remains intact. He said he would continue his plan to create jobs and growth without raising taxes."

Sounds like somebody I'd vote for. 8-)

It was an interesting night to be sure.... the Liberals decimated after standing in the middle for soooo long, the BQ being stomped (YES!) the rise of the NDP as the official opposition, but held in check by a Conservative majority.... Iggy being booted (Score!) and the head of the Greens finally getting a seat in BC. I can live with this arrangement, especially as there won't be another election for four more years... :D

Alas... being in Ontario, we have to go to the polls again this fall... :( but... that's a way off.

Add in a job for me in the culinary field now that I've completed chef training and I'll echo your sentiments kham :-)


Maybe you could feed Fred's crew this summer?

Canada is a wonderful place filled with wonderful people and I'm very fond of the whole place. If it makes the leftists among you feel any better just consider that even a conservative Canadian is still a bomb throwing liberal by US standards.

Enjoy - 8-)

Uhh, Duncan? Have you actually spent much time hanging with Kham? :) He's one of the few people I can discuss things like the borders of the future North American Empire with. ;)

I should have been more explicit and said "Canadian politician". We've pulled a couple of hitches together in Arkansas and I'd have Kham on my side any day. 8-)
