Interesting poll

Some statements that Canadians should be asked to consider:

"Decisions made in Washington have a larger impact on ordinary Canadians than decisions made in Ottawa."

"Canada, as it now stands, will last another 50 years."

"Canada is capable, both economicly and militarily, to provide meaningful military contributions in partnership with (and not as a minor supporter of) the United States and Great Britain in the next WWII level conflict."

Get out the whoopee cushion labeled "Canada", it's time to start jumping up and down on our neighbors up North.

The Liberal Trudeaupian mindf*ck was effective at reducing Canadians to mere sheeple.

EOM.

There is an election on the immediate horizon and Ipsos Reid is the liberal pollster of choice, as they are for the Democrats. A famous Canadian once said "polls are for dogs."

Freep this poll instead, it is probably much more accurate.-

Well I just voted and it was Harper 62% and Martin 38%. Hmmmm

[albertabound]

Harper said today, "the liberal party promotes liberal values. These values do not include National Security,National Defence and fighting international terrorism". Canadians will be voting with thier heads, not thier hearts this time around.

Statement 3: "Canada should establish an energy policy that provides reliable supplies of oil, gas and electricity at stable prices and on protection of the environment, even if this means placing restrictions on exports and foreign ownership of Canadian supplies." Been there, done that. Trudeau's National Energy Program nearly wiped out Alberta's economy.
