bush_cheney2004 Posted October 19, 2015 Report Posted October 19, 2015 People have had enough of our PM harper. It seems that PM Harper has also had quite enough after 10 long years. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
capricorn Posted October 19, 2015 Report Posted October 19, 2015 It seems you are heading for a change of government. How is it in Canada exactly: Is it a typical situation of getting fed up with the same party in power for quite a long time, almost ten years, and therefore yearning for a change or is there an economic downturn and increased unemployment which has caused the popularity of the Conservatives to plummet? Pundits call the ten year mark "past the best before date". Economic conditions don't seem to make any difference since the aspiring Liberals have vowed to bring the country into deficit with increased spending. Quote "We always want the best man to win an election. Unfortunately, he never runs." Will Rogers
ReeferMadness Posted October 19, 2015 Report Posted October 19, 2015 It seems that PM Harper has also had quite enough after 10 long years. Feel free to take him. And his band. Quote Unlimited economic growth has the marvelous quality of stilling discontent while preserving privilege, a fact that has not gone unnoticed among liberal economists. - Noam Chomsky It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it. - Upton Sinclair

ToadBrother Posted October 20, 2015 Report Posted October 20, 2015 They're way ahead of projections. They'll almost make their pre-dissolution national seat count in Atlantic Canada alone. There may very well be something to the comparisons to the 1984 election. Quote

ToadBrother Posted October 20, 2015 Report Posted October 20, 2015 I think we may be headed towards an era of majority govts. I think we're headed back to the "old normal". This looks more like the elections of my youth, before Reform and the Bloc Quebecois became such disruptive forces. Quote

Big Guy Posted October 20, 2015 Author Report Posted October 20, 2015 A red wave crossing the Atlantic provinces. Can it be stopped or run out of energy in middle Canada?

Big Guy Posted October 20, 2015 Author Report Posted October 20, 2015 Hey, what happened to the Harper cheerleaders on this board? What are your views on what is going on?

SpankyMcFarland Posted October 20, 2015 Report Posted October 20, 2015 Do swingometers work in Canada as reliably as the in UK? We get a much more regional return here obviously. Quote
Big Guy Posted October 20, 2015 Author Report Posted October 20, 2015 NDP loses Jack Harris and Megan Leslie. Too bad. I thought these two were very honest, compromising and dedicated politicians. I also thought that Megan would be the next leader of the NDP.

SpankyMcFarland Posted October 20, 2015 Report Posted October 20, 2015 Jack Harris is an excellent MP. That's a big surprise. Quote

WestCoastRunner Posted October 20, 2015 Report Posted October 20, 2015 I took a poll of my kids and partners votes. They are in their 20's and 30's. Not one of them voted conservative and they all did their own research. It was either green, ndp or liberal. ABC. This may be a good representation of the young population in bc. As well, this is the first time some of them have voted. Quote I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch. You've got to go out and kick ass. - Maya Angelou

PrimeNumber Posted October 20, 2015 Report Posted October 20, 2015 Splitting time between the game and the election on TV. Even brought my TV from upstairs downstairs to watch both. Both are looking real good right about now!! Quote “Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find your way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves. Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle. You put it into a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”― Bruce Lee
eyeball Posted October 20, 2015 Report Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) I'm stuck behind an 18 wheeler with it's bow in one ditch and it's stern in the other. The super-tower is two hours away. Good thing I voted in advance. I voted as strategically as possible, against anyone from getting a majority. I suppose I would accept a Green majority my 1st preference with the rest following from 2nd to last... A hung parliament, a weak NDP minority, a similarly weak Liberal minority, an even weaker Conservative minority to...having an asteroid fall on Ottawa. I guess if I had my druthers that would be my first preference. Edited October 20, 2015 by eyeball Quote A government without public oversight is like a nuclear plant without lead shielding.
PrimeNumber Posted October 20, 2015 Report Posted October 20, 2015 Libs with the clean sweep of Atlantic Canada. The big battlegrounds are next. Quote “Be like water making its way through cracks.
