| My initial reaction was "Business as usual". But I'm actually really excited that Canadians are *finally* getting off their arses and getting upset about the undemocratic nature of things. At least a decade late, but it's a start. It's pretty despairing that the candidate who's most appeal... |

| Agree 100%. If security can't keep someone who's they have every reason under the sun to stop from flying, what good is taking our shoes off going to do? |

| He was the worst of both worlds. Cut taxes like a conservative, spent like a liberal. Good for getting elected, bad for actually running a modern economy. That's what's concerning, is Obama has the ambition to do some major things, but both spending and tax levels are at unsustainable Bush levels. H... |

| They pretty much had to. The tories hadn't released a platform at all (which still astounds me), so all the opposition parties had to hammer on was the tories short record in office. And Quebec is very much in play right now, it's a pollster's nightmare. Quebec cares far more than the rest of the co... |

| The big part that raised the most controversy is a section that snuck past parliament but got spotted by the senate. There's a provision to expand the heritage minister's power so that she can deny funding to any work she deems to be contrary to public policy. Basically, it's giving the government c... |

| Everyone's is. I know many parts of Europe are getting hit especially bad. Canada's in this little bubble, our economy was on the verge of burnout just a year ago. Our GDP data for June was just released, and it showed very high growth as recent as then. We don't feel the recession yet. Nine months ... |

| One thing is certain. Whoever loses this election is toast. Unless Harper wins a majority, he's shot himself in the foot. If he loses, his party will turf him for a better candidate, not hard to find. If he wins another minority, Dion's toast, and any replacement is going to be more trouble for Harp... |

No gay marriage. No gay marriage two. No liberal corruption scandal. Four months ago, this election was suppose... |

| I'd be interested if there were any prime ministers who didn't receive one after their time in office. I suspect there aren't. It's pretty much a "we're politicians" club anyways. If you've tried to change Canada in any way, you're welcome. Write a political novel? Ooc. Make abortions lega... |

But because if you're going to go around invading countries with the goal of liberating them, one where a populace has been shown to be beg... |

Oh come on, Canada started as a union of french catholics and english protestants, and that *never* caused any problems.
Aside from everything in this book on canadian history I have on my shelf...
And that Bush line is the most awesome thing ever printed in a political cartoon. |

Or *Martin* for that matter. He was so skinny as finance minister... what happened?
I'm especially shocked by the french angle. As a culture, they claim to pride themselves in not giving in to the stupid body culture espoused by the media. |
