Then there are all the Chinese immigrants who are working for little more than min. wage and seeing no improvement in their live styles. They came here for something better and it hasn't happened. Their kids go to university, but they aren't getting jobs because there aren't any. We have American high tech firms opening in Vancouver, but only so they can bring in foreign workers, which they can't bring into the U.S.A.. They aren't looking to hire Canadians. <br /><br />The Jews and Ukrainians aren't going to vote for Harper based on what he did in other countries. These are two ethnic groups who are well integrated into Canadian society. they will be looking at how Harper managed the environment, how he sold the country down the river to others, how poorly he treated First Nations and Veterans. These groups don't see themselves as a block of an ethnic group. They see themselves as Canadians whose lives have not improved while Harper has been in power and they don't see any improvement. They see a good chance their kid will be thrown in jail if he has too much weed. They see the 1%ers getting ahead and they behind. In B.C. they know they can't afford a house, because in Vancouver that's at least a million and that is for bulldozer bait.<br /><br />Nothing has improved in this country since harper and his herd came to power. he didn't offer any groups, except his own anything of substance, so they will be looking elsewhere. They may not move over to the NDP but they will have a serious look at the federal Liberals. Because even though Harper and his herd yap on about Israeli and Ukraine, that is all he can do, is yap. We don't have a military which can do much, so its all talk. We can only hope the poll is accurate and harper and his herd are toast, along with those free trade agreements he has been signing everywhere and giving our country away. <br /><br />This evening we find out the European free trade agreement will limit the number of local wine stores in Ontario and B.C. to a specific number which has already been reached. So how the hell are these two industries going to expand? Not going to win many friends that way. The National health accord still hasn't been signed with the provinces and regardless of your ethnic background, everyone in this country except the 1%ers really do care about our medical system. Dr. Day of Vancouver is still trying to upset our medical system and I'm sure harper and his herd wish him well, the rest of us not so much. I would not put much faith in the ethnic vote this time around. The ethnic vote knows there are more important things to look after, like their lives in Canada; i.e. health care, education, jobs, the usual Canadian things.<br /><br />Some one did ask how the Greens were doing? That is an interesting question because if we have any more environmental disasters as we have in B.C., who knows Ms. May could be the next P.M. if only so we can breath the air and drink the water. She is starting to have a certain appeal.e.a.f.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-30853489679187929312014-08-14T13:07:19.200-04:002014-08-14T13:07:19.200-04:00Harper will stoop to any level to cheat this next ...Harper will stoop to any level to cheat this next election, as he did the last election. Harper so called *won* the last election, with his robo-call fraud. <br /><br />This time, Harper will use ethnic votes to win the election. Jason Kenny and Premier Clark are buttering up the Chinese. How many Chinese in Canada? How many people in India in Canada? How many Jews? People from the Ukraine? How many Polish in Canada? Harper just gave BC's ship building contract to Poland. How much more of Canada will Harper thieve, to gain more ethnic votes?<br /><br />Harper is completely devoid of dignity. Harper has no ethics nor morals, what-so-ever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-10285417833774499342014-08-14T06:58:10.850-04:002014-08-14T06:58:10.850-04:00Well, good in a way, but I'm not very happy ab...Well, good in a way, but I'm not very happy about NDP support leaking to the (bourgeois) Libs. The rise in Green votes is interesting. And I wonder where ex-Bloquistes are parking their votes. lagatta à montréalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02610410709900333230noreply@blogger.com
