Put in power... Canada is so fucked. Harper is going to drive the country into the ground.

That is all.

Just my theory and I could be wrong but I think it will be a cold day in hell before Harper gets into power. Here's why.

The conservatives, as they are today are the result of a merger with the old PC's and the Alliance. The major problem of the Alliance was to win seats in eastern Canada (Ontario, Quebec and the maritimes). Despite having created a "new" party, that problem remains.

So to sum it up, the conservatives don't have enough seats in Ontario and the Bloc Quebecois is splitting their vote in Quebec. This consequently is likely to result in the liberals winning yet another election.

Harper is playing with fire and what he's committing now is akin to political suicide.

You're pretty right Mike. Hopefully the Libs can hold on tight over the next week. Harper is a Bush lapdog. If he wins we're going to be going to war.

join the conservative fun. . . it's working out great for us here in the US. Think of the advantages: If you tell your spouse you would not want to be kept alive if you were brain dead, you will only have to get the approval of every judge in three states to let you die then when you finally win congress will step in and make you fight the battle all over again. If you don't like a country you can just invade and then when all the reasons for the invasion turn out to be wrong you can just change the subject. You call your opponent in the election a flip flopper, then come up with a plan to save social security and tavel all over the country trying to convince people it's a great idea. When you realize that the people don't like that idea and that maybe it is flawed you do a 180 and suggest something else, but you are not a flip flopper, you just changed your mind. When the liberals decide not to give you 100% of what you want and threaten to filibuster, you just tell them if they don't do as you want, you will change the rules so that they have no voice.

It's all fun and good in conservative land, there's nothing here to see so move along now.

That is all.

The Conservatives are at 31% in polls and Libs are at 27% with NDP at 19%, Greens at 6% and BQ at 13%. They might win a minority government but it won't be stable at all because if the seats play out like this poll, there is no chance anything the Cons push will get approved. The Cons are Rightwing-Bush ass-kissers whereas the Libs, NDP and BQ are Center-Left.

For example: Gay marriage-- Cons say NO but Libs, NDP and BQ say YES therefore Cons don't get what they want. Now, when it comes time to pass a budget, the Cons are going to have to appease the left to stay in power if they don't then the budget doesn't pass and we have another election.

It all boils down to Harper wanting to be "PM for a day"....while wasting our tax $$$.

Stupid Fucking Conservatives

This system works best when you have Fox and Rush to brainwash the sheep.

Why do you think the exchange rate will get lower if the Cons are in power?

The Canadian Gov. does not have control over it.

Because they'll spend spend spend and drive our economy into the toilet, thus lowering the value of our dollar.

I see a lot of people have bought into all the fear mongering over the small c conservatives. In the states they'd be called Democrats. Liberals and conservatives in Canada are pretty much middle of the road with a few kooks mixed in on either end of the political spectrum. Then we have our socialists; how anyone who values making choices for themselves can vote for them is a whole other topic.

The "small c" Cons where the old Progressive Conservatives(Tories) until they merged with the larger "Reform" party which controls this new merged "conservative" party. The "Reform party" is full of religous whackos. If the conservative party was truly the old "PC" then maybe they wouldn't be so scary.

The fact still remains that the majority of Canadians are CENTER-LEFT, of which the Liberals represent the CENTER and the BQ, NDP & GREEN represent the LEFT. So you basically you would have the minority right-wing (Bush-loving) Cons representing a small fraction of the Canadian people in power over the entire country. So regardless if you are right-wing or left-wing, I believe the ruling party should represent the majority of the people (DEMOCRACY) which is NOT the Cons.

If that is so, then I hate to see what the rest of them are like

People sit by while this gov arrogantly wastes taxpayers money buying MPs votes for 170 million

I'm sure you approve of all that
