Post Canadian Election

[Epinephrine]

I voted Liberal because of their platform last time around. Canadians already knew about the sponsorship scandal before the last election, and many people (including me) already assumed the government had some shady dealings in it. But I didn't care. The conservatives aren't going to be any less corrupt in that sense, I don't see why they would be. The NDP might have more morals but I don't agree with their platform anyway.

As it stands, if the conservatives force an election I would definately vote Liberal because the conservatives are wasting my time and tax dollars on a useless election. I'd be forced to vote at home instead of at school (where I voted for Peter Milliken the speaker of the house) so make sure that a liberal is voted in (the speaker while liberal can't vote).

If the election does not happen until after the inquiry is over, I will decide then based on how things are then (most importantly whether the Liberals have followed through with their platform or not).

Do you realize that the sponsorship scandal + clean up is going to cost over 80 million dollars? This is way over what the Liberals dished out. What’s done is done. There is a town out in Newfoundland that needs 1 million dollars to pay off their debt. If they don’t get the money they will no longer be a municipality. There are a lot of things that money could be used for, but instead these idiots choose to use it on this disgrace. Another thing is if Jean Chrétien succeeds in shutting down the Gomery trial then the election will be delayed for a little while longer. In my opinion and I think other’s here agree with me an election with a minority government is inevitable.

Not being legal age, I can't vote, but I disagree with the Conservative party moreso than any other. If I could vote I would most likely vote NDP. However, Saskatchewan's so Conservative, unfortunately, a vote for NDP is a vote for the Conservatives. So, I guess I'd vote for the Libbys.

Yeah, I'm so glad I don't live in Canada. My country is infallible and we've NEVER had any scandals or corruption. It's sad to see the way some governments manipulate their power. Seeing as how I read this one headline the other day, all Canadians must be corrupt too. I don't really have any solid logic to back up that statement, but it's true anyway.

I'd go so far as to say Canada sucks, and I'll plan on mentioning how much it sucks in future threads no matter what the relevance is to the thread itself.

(Sorry for this post being irrelevant--just wanted to make a point.)

Comrade O'Brien has got to him.

There is no fuckin way I'm voting for NDP after the kind of crap that was done to the economy which pretty much set us in debt in the first place.

What are you talking about? The PCs under Brian Mulroney (and later under the lame duck government of Kim Campbell) were decimated because of the failed Meech Lake and Charlottetown Accords which had a very large part in leading to the creation of the Bloc Quebecois by Lucien Bouchard. As well Mulroney introduced the GST which sealed his fate. The airbus scandal didn't really surface until a while later.

That was a long time ago, I believe the party has re-formed and become a better party in general.

Here's a graphic from Wednesday's Toronto Star that breaks down how any non-confidence votes might go. The Independant Chuck Cadman is also ill like the two Conservative MPs; all three are receiving treatment for various forms of cancer. They each have said that they plan to attend any potential votes, though there is a chance that any one of them may be unable to travel to Ottawa in time. In any case, the numbers look to be so close that the non-confidence vote expected in the near future has the potential for high drama.

4 team round robin hockey tournament. The two teams who come out on top go at it in a best of 3 series to soothe my Stanley Cup woes.

A couple of Conservatives and Liberals played a charity game a few months back. The Conservatives won.

My liking of Quebec right now is less than my liking for picking up dog shit.

That's a pretty crappy picture of Peter Milliken... makes him look like a fatass, when he's not.
