Our new government is going to destroy this country. They did it in the late 80's and it seems no one learned from it. Soooo, they're back, and it seems our people are ready to truly convert all of the north to the USA.

you really don't want to join the USA, we're well on our way to complete socio-economic collapse into a corporate police state.

We don't have a choice it seems. People don't seem to remember the damages of the past and history will repeat itself. I can't even begin to express how painful this is for the Canadians, such as myself, that truly care about our country. It's been gutted on all levels since the late 80's and there will be nothing left soon enough.

Our women are awesome. Nice work Ken.

I'm just happy the New Democratic Party is Official Opposition now, 102 seats from 37 seats is a huge triumph. Shows that many Canadians don't like Harper's "Bush's bitch" policies.
I'm American btw, so woop woop

The door's open, man. Cover charge is one box of Nanaimo bars.

Well I love that the NDP are where they are, but, with a majority for Harper means he pretty much has 4 years to do whatever the fuck he wants. Heres a very short summary of Conservative rule in Canada when it happened.
Conservatives history as the majority.
John Diefenbaker = scraps our air force budget and paves the way for US air force dominance and wasted our money on obselete missiles (bomarc) bought from the US.
Brian Mulroney = sold 23 of our 66 crown owned corporations(corps owned by the canadian gov.), sold to the US mainly., Allows American Express to form the AMEX Bank of Canada, he then makes GST[gross sales tax] (cover the cost of lost money from selling our corps and privatizing our corperate industry), then Free Trade which equates to Canada loosing more money from the tariffs of our borders to the US and Mexico. A decline in our health care shortly after because of cut backs and reducing cost.
Now
Stephen Harper = Soon to be privatized health care and who knows what else

So you're turning into America of the North then? Bah. Everywhere's falling apart. I'm ready to run off into the woods and form a commune.

I wouldn't do that. We're opening up our death panels here in the US shortly. :o

Eh. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0GFRcFm-aY
It's always like this. Two years ago, my neighbors were convinced that the US was about to go totally tits-up and sold off to Muslim socialist fascists (I can't even parse that either).
Four years before THAT, my dad was convinced we were all headed for megacorp work camps (especially funny because his corp already had a quarter million employees).
I suspect that some things will get a little worse, a few things will get a little better, some of us will be outraged and most of us will sort of be the same as before. Which isn't that great, obviously, but it could always be worse: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URv9swNdO5w

I hope you're right Cassie. Cause I'm really worried about there just not being enough jobs, and the government won't be able to support everyone who needs help and poverty and homelessness will just shoot through the roof to the point where the middle class ceases to exist.

Muslim socialist fascists ? What the I don't even... omg I love this term :D

A shade funnier and more 'acceptable' than the previously more prominent Jewish banker / rootless cosmopolitan jibes of past generations eh :P

I think the inherent oxymoron is what makes it funny.

Ugh, Harper. I am leaving Earth and never coming back. Goodbye, sweet Canada.

Wasn't he already PM?
/me knows almost nothing about Canadian politics except that some segment of Quebec wants to secede... and that's about it.
-
I went out and voted, but I didn't really feel like I was changing anything. I feel quite powerless while voting. The curse of democracy is that with everyone having a say, what one person thinks becomes irrelevant in the big picture.

I'd rather have Australia tbh.

Well....... you can't.
I know very little about Canadian politics except what drizzles down to me from my Overlord John Revenent. I presume it's pretty much the same as here with more French in it.
Sometimes, keeping abreast of Australian, NZ, US and UK politics isn't enough.
Oh, and Ireland.

You always were America's hat.

He was, and is, but at time he only had a minority Government. This means what ever policies he tried to pass would require the other parties to vote on it for it to be accepted. He now has a majority and can pretty much to whatever he wants, within reason of course.
That group that wanted to secede in Quebec got decimated and don't even have official party status anymore. My beloved NDP crushed the province of Quebec.

Sounds like you're copying Britain tbh.
Thatcher perpetrated terrible things here. Now her bastard offspring are back in power and they have carte blanche to destroy more than she could ever have dreamt of destroying.
