A nice little wallpaper espousing my hatred for a man who will in all likelihood be the next Prime Minister of Canada.
It's kind of funny. The five major parties in Canada make up 99% of the vote. The Liberals and Conservatives share 65% of the vote, with 18 going to the NDP, 12 to the Bloc and 5 to the Greens (estimates). The only reason the Tories even have a hope is because they are a unified right, while the left is fractured into 4 separate parties.
Harper's campaign has allegedly been paid for by the Republican Party, is an American apologist, is pro-Iraq war, anti-Kyoto, anti-gay marriage and anti-abortion. Pretty much he is against everything that Canada stands for. That is, a country with totally different values than the US. A country that as a whole believes in a more progressive society, one that is anti-war, pro-equality, pro-environment, and one that leaves no person behind.
That is my Canada at least.
This is a wallpaper thread and I just went on a Harper rant. I'm way too involved in this.
It's funny cause I was drunk last night and all I could talk about was the election. Getting on the bus I was drunk and ripping into Harper and yelling at everyone to vote on the 23rd and to vote Liberal. I'm a funny drunk.
Anyways, in closing I would like to say to any Canadians in any of the battleground ridings (read: Ontario, urban British Columbia, Quebec), get out and vote for the party that will stand up to the Americans and not suck up like the Tories. Vote for the party that stands up for Canadian values. Vote for the party with the leader who doesn't want to be the American president. Vote for the party that represents Canada.
On January 23, vote Liberal.
um, no the liberals don't represent Canada. if they won't, among other things, block takeover bids of Canadian institutions (example: HBC) they don't represent Canada. the liberals & conservatives are pretty much the same with everything except social & perhaps environmental issues.
