The government we deserve?

About That Recession, Harper... - mike watkins dot ca

If I suffer from the recession, due to the results of the election, I want the lying mainstream media to pay up. They are the ones who mislead the masses into buying into the shit that the Conservatives spew. If they reported/covered all the parties fairly, no one except the very rich and the very stupid would have voted for the Conservatives.

Dion to step down very soon?

Dion planning to quit, report says

Federal Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion is planning to step down, possibly as early as Thursday, the Toronto Star reported.

The paper cites Liberal party insiders who say Dion will make an announcement then stay on as leader until a successor is chosen.

Don't let the Internet end.

Good to know - our copyright MPs

Michael Geist - The New Copyright MPs

While copyright reform is unlikely to emerge as a top legislative
priority in the current economic environment, there is little doubt
that the Conservative minority government will return to the issue
(whether Jim Prentice leads that charge as Industry Minister or shifts
to Foreign Affairs is a separate matter).  With that in mind, having
Members of Parliament who will speak out on the need for a balanced
approach to copyright that preserves user rights is essential.  Coming
out of last night's election, 34 candidates who supported the copyright
pledge during the campaign were elected - 11 Liberals and 23 New
Democrats, covering 8 of 10 provinces (only NB and Saskatchewan do not
have a copyright MP).  In some ridings - particularly
Edmonton-Strathcona where Conservative Rahim Jaffer lost to the NDP's
Linda Duncan - it is certainly possible that copyright swung enough
votes to help make the difference.

Satirical PSA for McCain by Hayden Paettiere

Hayden Panettiere PSA: Vote For McCain (VIDEO)

Could longer campaign periods save our elections?

There Is A Connection Between 59 Percent Voter Turnout And Four 36 Day Elections In A Row « …cultural sn:afu.

Before the 1993 election — then the shortest at 47 days, and with a 69.6% turnout — Canada had some of the largest voter turnouts of any democracy. Now, after four consecutive 36-day elections, we don’t. Increase the minimum, force the parties to defend their platform over a significant time, and give people time to figure out what’s going on and the numbers will go back up.

Harper the CONman continues

Rolling Back the Tide of Extremism, One Post at a Time: Our So-Called Prime Minister, Liar in Chief

So, there it is. Harper conned Canadian voters so rapaciously that his lies didn't hold up for even 24-hours after the polls closed. I'm sorry but this guy has as much respect for the Canadian people as Parizeau had for Quebeckers in the last referendum when he described them as lobsters ready for the pot. Harper duped his way to a minority win and he deserves our full contempt for the way he did it.
