I'm sorry. Seems like the lunatics are taking over the asylum, eh?

We just handed this asshole a majority government.

I'd say so.

CANADA ENDURE

I grieved the very same and real way when National won the NZ election. Trying to stiff upper lip it now. It'll be an awful blow but Harper cannot get re-elected after this.

idk that is exactly what people keep saying and we have a majority now

[cephiedvariable]

I'm holding out on the hope here that Harper's ultimate goals are so against what the majority of Canadians want that him having absolute power will utterly ruin his street cred. I mean, five years is a long time but I don't think it's long enough to erase the political ethos passed down from the Trudeau era that has had Harper desperate to hide his past as a wingnut, anti-gay, woman hating fundie. Right now he thinks he's changing the political climate in Canada when all he's really doing is covering his tracks and manipulating apathy. Is five years long enough to make us into America

[agawa_jean]

my problem is if he does those things, the force behind the political organizing against it can be much more easily dissipated in 5 years than if he had to deal with an election immediately. I mean, yeah, people will be upset about the CBC, health care, but its much much easier to dismantle that kind of infrastructure than to rebuild it.

also he is (somehow!!!) really really good at manipulating public opinion in the west. I'm a little scared that without Danny Williams the east might budge a bit more as well (although he isn't close to the only reason the atlantics didn't go very conservative)

I mean Canadians are in favour of abortion rights, heck, even conservatives alone poll in favour of abortion rights here, and yet! the Conservatives have defunded PP nationall and internationally. Who cares?

At the very least they're gonna fuck everything up. Worst cast, they defund and cripple the other parties (how much do I like that you don't have to be rich to run here?) and then I really don't even know.

let's live off the
