Stand up for Canada...sort of

Well guys, it's done. Prime Minister Stephen Harper. I never though I would see the day, in the prime of my life and seeing a Conservative government in Ottawa. It's a shame the Conservatives are only at 124 seats, Ontario and Atlnatic Canada drank the Kool-aid for the most part. But hot dang, boy did the Tories wipe the floor in Quebec. Ten traditionally Bloc seats, Lawrence Cannon as a potential deputy prime minister, significantly more popular vote, even split the PQ popular vote. Lost 6 seats in my home of British Columbia, but we've always been slightly left of Hugo Chavez in Vancouver, so what can I say.

Winners in this election:
- Canada. A Liberal win meant bye-bye Quebec within six months, then Alberta and maybe Saskatchewan and B.C. with it. Watching your country almost self-destruct is quite the experience. And we didn't elect a convicted criminal by the name of Svend Robinson back in to the House. At least not everybody drank the Kool-aid, thank GOD.

- Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Boy does that sound good.

- Quebec. Now they have a real, politically alive federalist alternative to the scum-sucking, adscam wheezing corrupt Liberals of Paul Martin or whoever will be in charge there.

- The West. They finally have a government to call their own.

- The Liberals: They weren't totally destroyed, and I doubt they ever will be. Too many canadians drank the kool-aid

- Belinda Stronach: How anyone ever considered voting for her, I will never understand.

Losers in this Election:

- Paul Martin: This guy was absolutely destroyed. Anyone with an ounce of common sense and without kool-aid knows this guy was screwed. Succeeded in being beat by the 'dead' Conservatives in Quebec. QUEBEC!

- Gilles Duceppe: This is a tough one. He's the coolest looking of all the candidates, but his party still couldn't unseat fourteen Liberals in a province that should've taken them and bashed them over the head with valuable East Asian porcelain. They also lost eleven seats to a party that's been dead for almost two decades in Quebec and a radio broadcaster. The party holds the balance and could score some serious points for Quebec sovereignty, but they ultimately come out losers

- The NDP. These guys went up one percent in the popular vote, but won almost a third more seats this time around. I must congradulate NDP voters for voting with their party and not giving into Liberal scare-mongering. But you know what, those seats mean jack now. They no longer hold the balance of power. We're looking at a Conservative-Bloc coalition. Wow, whoever thought anyone would say THAT!

- Canada: 103 seats for the most corrupt party in recent memory in any nation, period. The Cretin Liberals ran Canada like a fiefdom, and we're too stupid to deliver such a swift kick in the behind to opportunists like Belinda Stronach, and the entire bloody party for goodness sakes. We'll be back to the polls in a year or so, and hopefully we'll be smart enough to elect a Conservative Majority. If not, we could have trouble.

Politics and Religion

http://www.christianity.ca/news/national/2006/01.001.html

Even the NDP managed to say something substantial about religion, where as the Mr. Dithers just managed to spout off...well...I'm not quite sure what you call it. I think it's generally refered to as crap. No substance, and not much show either. The Progressive Canadians just sounded bitter about Mackay mergind with the Alliance.

I was actually surprised that Layton managed to say something that made sense and was reasonable. For a party that stands against most values any religious person would hold, that was impressive.

No, we did not make this up.

Well, I've succumbed: I'm getting a political blog. I have one of my life at xanga, which you may or may not to choose to visit after looking at this. While I don't have much time for a big intro post, let me give you the basics on this blog: it is a Tory/Republican/conservative blog. You don't like that, get over it. I picked a bad time to get one I know, the end of the Canadian election period, a kinda dull period for American politics, but oh well. I shall press on!

Posts Planned:
The Democratic Deficit
Respeckt the real Liberals
Centerward Ho!
