Sacre bleu! You wouldn't happen to know where I could find a French translation?

The Liberals are no longer the party of French-speaking Canada. And they are slowly losing their grip on immigrant community voters in no small part to their dismissal of Canadians' views on traditional marriage. Add these two facts together and the Liberals are in trouble. Without any real program to offer and tired after a decade in power, their remaining card to play is the nationalist Canadian card. It may yet save them in the forthcoming election.

I put little faith in Canadian election polling after they were off the mark in the last election. At the end of the election period, the Liberals will body check the Conservatives and NDP by scaring the Ontario urban and suburban constituency into voting Liberal. And I doubt the Conservatives can win a majority of ridings without Quebec.

Unless something fundamentally changes, the best possible outcome for the Conservatives would be having the largest number of seats in a minority government, I'm afraid. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't share David Frum's optimism.

The Liberals also tried to create support by breaking things, then claiming to be the ones who are going to fix it.
An example of this is Paul Martin's "balanced budget" he created during Chretien's dictatorship. What he did was cut 100 billion dollars out of federal transfer payments to the provinces for health care, causing lay offs, cut backs, closing of hospital beds, delays or cancellations of medical equipment purchases, and creating the long lines Canada has now become famous for.
Now that Canadians have forgotten who caused the Canadian health care system to crumble, he's trying to fool them into thinking he now has the answers to fix it, including the "generous" injection of our own money, 10 billion dollars, back into the system. Of course, Canadians being the forgetful sheep they are, buy this scam hook line and sinker, and believe the scare tactics of "evil social conservatives" being out to destroy the health care system, even though the conservative camp promises that no such agenda exists.
Of course, the sheeple in eastern Canada will tremble in fear, believe every word of the crooks who want to remain in control of that lovely, easy to take taxpayer money, and vote the liberals back in yet again.
Such a people deserve such a government.
It is a shame to see a country go down the tubes like this, but this should serve as an example to all Americans why we must never allow the government to take away our power to control it, which is the agenda of our own 'liberals' in theDemocrat party to do, take away our freedom to choose.

This summary editorial is a great effort! In remarkably a few short words he describes the problem and the solution. Unfortunately, like at least one on this board I do believe the Liberals will muddle through. After a virtual century of rule, they know the levers to grease and pull. Too bad. This is one chance for Canada that should not be avoided. But it will. Too bad!

While not said in polite company, we do have the 10th Mountain Division handy if need be.

Canada isn't as clean as you think. I drove thru Windsor, ON today and there is litter everywhere. But then thats Windsor, and Canadians claim it is "American" whatever that means.

I believe, but am not sure, that I'd like Quebec to become an independent country. They'd be insignificant world players and they can become French fascists for all I care.

That would perhaps give momentum to the western provinces to abandon ship as well. As long as Canadian politics are determined by the inner city politics of the big metropolitan areas, it's going to be liberal whether the Liberal Party takes a hit in the next election or not.
