    He’s Mark Harper. He would have led the PCs if they weren’t so many nutjobs in the party funded by the USA. He killed the carbon levy to get elected.

    We can criticize politicians all we want, but Canadians don’t actually want green policies, because they vote against them, or they don’t give a shit enough to vote at all. So in the end, we got a government that formed a majority with PC MPs who sold out on some back door deal.

    So much like the US, we now have a one party system. If he fucks up, the backlash will net a Fascist government in Canada that will make Donald Trump look like Che Guevara. This is because Canadians never vote for anyone, they vote angry against incumbents when their entitlement is threatened.

      Yup yup yup. I was asked by a street corner CTV person about my opinion in the mayoral election and I said we needed to vote progressive, and that it’s all well and good to want to change, but it has to be real and positive change, not just change for the sake of it.

      I’m just so tired of everyone refusing to treat the NDP with any damn respect. They have policies that are shown to work all over the world and yet they’re “dreamers” while the population at large just keeps chasing the same old conservative bullshit.
