Fema

Westwoody - Grewal is now running FEMA.

As for the rest of it - can't we just send them all to Bolivia and start with a new crop?

I could rant about this for days

me too ...

 

[LonelyGhost]

they are a scary bunch of hicks.

yup, but what's the alternative? more Liberals? the NDP won't get into power unless there's something really weird going on and they have a few nuts hiding out there too.

the biggest problem with the liberals is that they don't really know what's going on anymore in canada and so they just stagger from one fuck up to another and don't fix what needs fixing.

the worst thing is that this country is really ready to do great things and the politicos are making sure that's not going to happen!

 

[HankQuinlan]

If you have a local candidate --- for any party --- that you suspect is a decent person, vote for that one. It is about the best you can do when all of the party leaders are full of shit.

The choices are just depressing. But if Harper somehow pulls off a majority government, I'll be even more depressed. Anything that would make George Bush happy can't be good.

So DD let this uneducated American have a shot at this. Is there a prize for the closest? How about a visit with a lady of the winner's choice?


N&L: 7 (Lib 4, Con 3) - they got what they wanted from the libs.

NS: 11 (Lib 6, Con 1, NDP 4) All 3 need more welfare and UIC checks (oops cheques)
NB: 10 (Lib 6, Con 1, NDP 3)
PEI: 4 (Lib 4)


QC: 75 (BQ 56, Lib 19) We are going to separate if you ndo not give us more.
ON 106 (Lib 79, Con 20, NDP 7) A wild guess. Actually they all are.
MB: 14 (Con 7, NDP 5, Lib 2)
SK: 14 (Con 14, Lib 0)
AB: 28 (Con 27, Lib 1)
BC: 36 (Con 18, Lib 10, NDP 8)

YK: 1 (Lib 1) 1 fuckin seat each who the hell cares.
NWT: 1 (Lib 1)
NUN: 1 (Lib 1)

Totals


Libs 134
Con 91
PQ 56
NDP 27

LK - I throw down the gauntlet. Put your numbers up beside mine so we can compare the morning after.

I think I have a checkmate here regardless of which way you move:

Don't post - all talk

Post and win - so what you are just beat an American. What the hell does he know about Canadian politics

Post and lose - Oh the shame of it. You would have to change your name.

So, what ya gonna do?

You are smoking very bad drug to think the Liberals will gain a seat in Alberta. They'll be lucky to retain Landslide Annie's seat.

Try re-reading my original post. Then tell me from what election did voters in Alberta send 26 Conservatives and 2 Liberals.

 

[dirtydan]

Here's something for Marvin

What annoys me to no end is the presence of the Bloc ... a so called national party that runs its fucking candidates in one province. Imagine if these clusterfucks ever got to form the government ... mmmm, life anywhere outside of Quebec would be hell. I wish the Elections Act would be amended to force all federal parties to run candidates in each province.

Maybe that party is up your alley?

LD, the polls show

the Liberals are nearly 10 percentage points behind the Conservatives. It would take a miracle for them to just to break 100 seats this time. BTW, many thanks for being the first one to demonstrate some balls in making a prediction.

Ask for some predictions about what the outcome might be and all there is whining, more whining, followed by even more whining.

 

[festealth]

what's up with all this anti-americanism? seriously, what we need is to have the yanks respect us and not just treat us like, "the retarded cousin you see every thankgiving, where you love him and pat his head, but completely ignore".

for the boost in the military, finally we don't have to hitch the ride with the americans whenever we wanna do anything overseas. we can't even peacekeep unless the USA or britain take us there. gaining more independences from our neighbours, i would assume most american-haters would support.

enough of my ranting.....go conservatives go!

DD - I would be very surprised if Martin was not the PM with a minority gov't. Despite the polls, the election will be decided by the time they count Ont. Liberals could lose every seat west of the MAN/ONT border and still have the most seats.

BTW DD - I did not see your prediction either.

Not too likely - even 40% + of the Liberals own members think they're gonna lose this one. (based on Globe & Mail survey last week). Here's what's gonna happen:

CON: 156
LIB: 76
Bloc: 54
NDP: 22

Where is the Rhino Party, now that we really need them?

Wow...RW I am getting ready to celebrate.

Canada with a less liberal government.

Let's face it the Conservative Party of Canada is a bit of a misnomer but it would be a step in the right direction.

I think I will get out my old “Follow John” button

It's right there, the last line in my original post. Here it is:

My prediction for Jan 23 is a Conservative minority with: Con 144, Lib 69, BQ 65, NDP 30.

Anyhow the Liberals are not going to sweep all of Ontario as much as they have been since 1993. The Liberals should take most of the Toronto seats, but all of those outside of TO could easily be shifting mostly to the Conservatives and a few to the NDP. In short the traditional voting pattern for federal elections in Ontario is beginning to return.

It's not so much people getting turned out by Republican wanna-be's of the Conservatives here in Canada, but rather people simply sick and tired of the Liberals. This happened in 1984 when the Liberals got booted after being in power since 1963 with the exception of 9 months of Tory minority government. And it happened to the Conservatives in 1993 when they were laid low to only a pair of seats. People get tired of a government and want change, usually they don't think of who they are changing to however.

Long since deregistered as a political party.

Follow John

As in John George Diefenbaker?

Now there was first and last true red Tory prime minister Canada ever had. He was so progressive that he sometimes made the CCF look right-wing. Unfortunately he was also quite paranoid andthat led to his downfall during the 1960's.

And then we'll still be out of step with your country in a couple of years when your people start realizing what has been happening, throw out the cons (the ones that aren't indicted by then) and elect a more honest and liberal government.
