Subject: time to bore you all with some Canadian politics


So Jean Chretien (Liberals) has called for an election, which will basically
be a two party race between the Liberals and the Canadian Alliance. Alliance
leader Stockwell Day is as right wing as we've ever had here in Canada.
Hopefully the 'Pie Brigade' will provide some entertainment. It seems we're
becoming a two party state, just like the US, since everyone's saying a vote
for NDP or the Conservatives is a wasted vote since they have no chance of
winning.
Stockwell Day has a good chance of winning, mainly because of his PR, not
because of his polices. The majority of people who vote, in my opinion, know
fuck all about politics or economics. People refer to Stockwell Day as a
good speaker, when in reality when he speaks to the public he's very
manipulative and basically a liar. Maybe I'm just bitter because I'm a lazy
Maritimer. Day's famous quote "there could have been an eye injury..."
remark concerning pieing of Jean Chretien.
Jean Chretien on the other hand is just great. He's kind of like Al Gore, he
has policies for all citizens, or are they just lies to get votes?
I wonder who will get more soft money, Day had a good start with his '25,000
dollar a table' supper in Toronto. I'm probably just paranoid though, there
couldn't have been filthy deals made there.
The NDP and Conservatives will be fighting to keep Official Party status
(getting 12 seats in the government). And the Bloc Quebecois will continue
their fight for separatism. All in all, whoever wins will be continually
fucked in the ass by the new American President. Vive la Canada.
