It really makes you wonder what the Cons are up to since the group they're sending OUR money to has an appealing record of supporting right-wing dictatorships. I'm hoping the opposition might make something out of it, but they probably won't because they don't want to offend the Ukrainian vote.

I don't agree with all his policies, but he is starting to look like real change to me. I still want the NDP to get enough seats, but having Justin as Prime Minister also symbolizes generational change to me, and I think that's what this country needs. I'm still hoping the NDP gets enough seats to form a coalition government, but having Justin represent us abroad instead of the grubby weird Harper would do out tattered image a lot of good....Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-42244115661483916142015-10-10T08:15:48.959-04:002015-10-10T08:15:48.959-04:00hi anon...Stephen Harper and his foul regime are c...hi anon...Stephen Harper and his foul regime are capable of anything so we must remain vigilant...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-69734442183699626982015-10-10T08:15:08.648-04:002015-10-10T08:15:08.648-04:00hi RT...yes I know what you mean.

I just saw a couple of what I believe are Cons workers going to the houses of my neighbours who are likely Cons supporters (today being the start of Advance voting). <br /><br />I definitely know one of the houses to be strong Cons supporters and the other one they went to was a military family, so quite possibly Cons supporters as well. They knew not to come to mine ... they were checking their phones for the addresses from their CIMS database likely. Mine must have a frowny face, eh? :)<br /><br />Unlike the Provincial election, when Liberal workers came to my house several times to ask if I had voted, none have come so far. In a close election, as apparently this one is going to be, the ground game is going to make a difference. Neither the NDP nor Green candidates have even shown up so far or left a note or pamphlet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-78070592338071220742015-10-09T15:56:00.421-04:002015-10-09T15:56:00.421-04:00Fear the false flagFear the false flagStevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14162783936999869984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-19580406967624012662015-10-09T15:55:31.220-04:002015-10-09T15:55:31.220-04:00How can you say Justin is not very bright.

I'm very worried, and sad. <br /><br />Of course the difference is that I also dislike the Liberal Party - no, of course they aren't (usually) the danger to democracy the Harpercons are, but as you know there are a lot of people in Québec who will never forgive them for certain things. And I deeply resent someone as lightweight and not very bright as Trudeau fils possibly earning a coronation on his family name alone. <br /><br />Not that I trust any party, but I thought we might have been able to make a difference in such key areas as social housing, minimum pension payments above the poverty line, and Indigenous rights and reparations. <br /><br />Everything is screwy around here. Not so long ago, the Bloc was very strong on protecting and funding culture and cultural workers - now they have fallen into absurd "culture wars". <br /><br />Oh well, at least if we can get rid of the Cons... But I'd like them wiped from the roster entirely. lagatta à montréalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02610410709900333230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-6131534222807435642015-10-09T13:14:34.845-04:002015-10-09T13:14:34.845-04:00Wake-Up, CANADA!
