Sounds like there's hope for Canada. I wish to voters in this country would wake up because it looks like we are headed towards a Kerry Presidency.
Help out an American cousin, what is the NDP party? Which side are they on?
The Liberals become the minority party in Canada? This is too much to hope for. Iraq will have an elective representative government first.
All the road signs in French everywhere in Canada, including Quebec, would have to come down before I would believe that the Liberal party has lost its iron control. Too many of the minority coalition parties keep joining up with it on their single-issue politics to ever expect a Conservative recovery.
India will have to go the same route to purge out the Congress (Communist) party after it finishes erasing all the progress made under Vajpayee. The Indian stock market crash was just the beginning.
On the positive side, outsourcing to, and fuel consumption by, the Indians may be less of problem if their economy tanks.
been reading the Toronto Pravda...Toronto Star and the feedback they have been getting over the budget and the health care premiums is almost all negative which the editorial pages have been trying to quell praising the budget.
The WSJ had another article on the inadequacies of the Canadian healthcare system and its two tier clients. The case in point that was used was none other than Prime Minister Martin, himself, who recently used the Montreal Medisys office for a physical exam, not covered under the federal medicare program. Of course the Prime Minister didn't have to pay out of his own pocket, as would ordinary citizens because the gov't employees are covered under a separate, but not equal medi-care system.
Liberal minority government ... not good enough for me. Let's get Harper in there.
Give the liberal Canadian media time, they're doing their best to drum their message home to Canadians.
Liberals Good, Conservatives Bad.
Socialism Good, Conservatism Bad.
Tax hikes Good, Tax cuts Bad.
You get the idea.
I am one of those in eastern Ontario. I must admit I am happy of the way the liberal government at the federal level has managed to balance the books and actually reduce corporate and individual income taxes. Plus, for years there was one too many conservative parties at the federal level.
But after the massive scandal where friend of federal liberals made lots of money, a recent provincial budget from a new liberal government that promised not to raise taxes but did anyway (reminds me of Bush 41) and now with a "united" conservative party that has a chance, I'm getting ready to toss the liberal out of our riding and replace him with a conservative dude.
