Rural Leader in an Urban Country

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has perhaps not surprisingly been re-elected as Prime Minister in a $300 million election that really didn’t change anything. We still have a minority government, we still have the same leader; the only outcome that will change as a result is that the Liberal Party will rid themselves of Stephane Dion ...

Flip Flop Harper & Foolish Palin 5

The US Election race is heating up with bad-boy Karl Rove conceding that even John McCain has crossed the line in his Republican ads against Obama. Meanwhile, our Canadian Federal Election is coming up in less than a month (October 14th). In 2006 shortly after Stephen Harper became Prime Minister, he passed a law that ...

Harper squeezes in 1

Thankfully, the Conservatives were only able to achieve a minority government. A majority Conservative government would likely send Canada down the same path as the United States wastfully spending billions of dollars on the “war on terror”, the missile defence system and homeland defense. An environmental conscience would also be low on the priority list, ...

Olivia Chow is going to Ottawa 2

I think it’s safe to assume that Olivia Chow is going to win her riding at Trinity and Spadina this year. In 2004 she was beaten by Liberal Tony Ianno by only 2 percent. Mr. Ianno has held Trinity-Spadina since 1993. The reason I think Ms. chow will be the winner is because I currently ...

In describing Stephen Harper in my previous post I couldn’t really find the right words to describe how I feel about Stephen Harper. Last night I read an article from one of my favourite writers, Eric Margolis who I think describes Stephen Harper perfectly. I will quote him: “The Liberals have been in power far ...

Liberals falling hard 1

The Liberals have made a huge mistake in their campaign. They have essentially lowered themselves to Stephen Harper’s level and the result has made Stephen Harper look like the good guy. My opinion originally was that Stephen Harper had a weak campaign of attacking and mocking the Liberals. As the campaigns progressed, I found that ...

I’m not corrupt … 1

… and I’m your only other choice. This seems to be the basis of Stephen Harper’s platform. I could have made a better commercial with my digital camera than the Conservative Party has done. I think the commercial cost them about $50 to make. The commercials are set to make the Liberals out to be ...

Election Time

With the for-coming elections in Canada, I figured I’d share some funny pictures that I stole from Rick Mercer’s blog. If you’re not familiar with him, Rick Mercer has a show the “Rick Mercer Report” which airs on CBC on Tuesdays at 8PM. visit Rick’s blog for many more of these parody photographs.
