Strat ... this is for you.  To clear up a bit of the unprecedented political B.S. that's going on up here.

Even though I didn't vote for Harper and his PC's, it is the democratic principle of the whole thing that matters more.  We just had an election, and the people spoke!  He was elected and now, what the hell?

We now have the three loser parties banding together to overthrow our democratically elected government.  There's the NDP (Ontario union/auto-workers...), there's the Liberals (headed by a French, least popular leader they have ever had, even within his own party!), and then the BQ - the Bloc Quebecois (who, as HB said, always threaten to take their greedy ways someplace else but never seem to grow the balls to actually leave -- but who are quite content to take equalization payments & money from the West provinces for their "have-not" french province...)

As far as I'm concerned, they would do us a big financial favour if they separated.  Don't let the door hit their arrogant, lazy french asses on the way out...  About the only thing Quebec gives us is some runny maple syrup and the occasional Olympic athlete.  IMHO...

(Now, my attitude usually sits on the back-burner about this BQ thing... but this is an example of what these three goons have done by forming this ridiculous coalition.  They are ripping the country apart and dividing it once and for all.   No unity here!)

It is outrageous and presumptous of those three to think they have our best interests at heart by tearing the country apart.  (Did you see them on the news, signing the Coalition Agreement?  The word, vultures, came to mind...  and it's exactly what they looked like too...)

My guess is this:  they may have a sneaky suspicion the PC's won't 'stimulate' the auto-industry (specifically), and the NDP being what it is with unions, have probably been under all kinds of pressure from the CAW to get help.  Bullshit.  The NDP wrecked BC with all that, which is why they can't get back in there...
 
Yeah, well those three couldn't stimulate the economy with their dicks.
Does this mean we have an untimely eco-tax thing imposed by that idiot freakin' Dion!?  This country is going to be destroyed by that snivelling twit.  One NDP from Manitoba said, "We will be working separately, but together."  Yeah, that's got success written all over it.  I can see this is *so* NOT going going to go well...!!!

And, to forge an alliance with the Bloc!?  Quebec, who wants to separate, but still get their "have-not" cheques from Alberta!?  Holy hell, I'm so pissed by all of this.

And, they wonder why people don't care to vote!?  Because it makes not one iota of a difference, that's freakin' why.  It's putting Canada into a coup, nothing short of a third-world country or banana republic.  Disgusting, and embarrassing.

Now, to put this into better perspective....  If this coalition govt. overthrows our elected Prime Minister, Alberta's representation in the House of Commons (like your senate in the US), we go from 28 seats to 1.  Yes, ONE!  The richest province in Canada, who pays all of Quebec's and Ontario's bills, gets nothing -- well, except more bills...

  The word, "Revolution" comes to mind... with Ian banging that bass around ...  If there is any wind of a protest, anywhere ... let me know.  We are so "there", and I'm not usually prone to that kind of thing.  But this is not something Canadians should let happen.

If it does, they can't let it go.

There is a saying here in Canada, that "Alberta could live without Canada, but Canada could not live without Alberta".

There is talk of the West separating (again), as so many people have had enough.  To fully understand this, you must know that Harper is a PM from the West.  For the first time, we have a PM from our part of the country, but these three stooges can't stand it and just have to take over power from the West, for the East.  So, we are divided.  Quebec, the East, the West, Pro-Coalition, Pro-Democracy ... and Canada is angry.  Usually, that only happens when they lose their beer or hockey games, but nobody has ever seen anything quite like this, and I wonder how easy it will be for people to control their passion at these rallies.

  I have poster with that on it.... with 'SHAME' underneath, and a cool one with a Maple Leaf on a tombstone that says, simply "RIP".    (Notice the emblem says "Central Canadian"?  It does not include the west.)  I have a feeling the protests are going to be very heated... especially when we show up with our Anti-Coaltion signs at the PRO-Coalition rally in red-neck central, Edmonton, tonight.
HB, too bad you can't make it....  You're gonna miss some kind of fun.  Watch the news... Edited at: Thursday, December 04, 2008 10:18:34 AM Edited at: Thursday, December 04, 2008 10:22:38 AM Edited at: Thursday, December 04, 2008 10:23:23 AM
