What do think?
It's hard to believe, but it appears that the country is preparing itself to toss the rascals out.
Actually, the change is focussed on Ontario, where the NDP and Tories will each pick up many seats - over 50 between them, imo. The Liberals are on the run!
A less stridently negative attitude towards Canada's neighbor to the immediate south would be a very welcome change. I've never disliked Canada or Canadians, at least up until all the vocal leftist condemnation of US policy, plus the increasingly deranged sounding paranoia about everything associated with the US. We have too much in common, and we have so much to gain by becoming good friends and trading partners again, for this drifting apart to continue unchecked.
So, I am really looking forward to a more friendly regime up there. Congratulations seem to be in order, but don't let your guard down.
I think too many people are counting on Morning in Canada and forgetting that the Socialists have largely rigged the game so that they can continue to lie, cheat and steal so long as the provide the good citizens of Ontario with their bread and circuses.
My geography is really bad. Canada? Is that near Nova Scotia?
They have voted liberal for years...then they complain about the French Gov't.
They are too snobby to vote conservative as conservatives are "too provincial" for them. We'll see what they do this time.
Unpopular? ROFLOL!
Canada Ping!

fearless pre-election prediction along with

If you meant what do I think of the article above,
it seems its author is arguing it both ways.
Personally, I think both Harper and the Party have had
a far better first week than many dared hope for.
Another factor is that according to the Anglophones living in Ontario, the Conservative Party of Canada embodies the ideals that looks far too much like from the South of the border (read: USA) and Western Canada may well be more than half way across the 49th using Ontario standards anyway.
They would have happily voted an anti-American Traditionalist conservative party if it exists - another John Diefenbaker or Sir Charles Tucker for instance.
I should add that: yes, I know there are many free-market and friendly-to-the-US people in Ontario. But be honest, the middle mum and pop aren't quite like that - they are not virulently socialist but you can see they do have heavy social democratic beliefs and monarchist tendencies and "What does the government provide me?" mentality is very prevalent.
North Korea.
They are also too snobby for anything that looks like America.
They preferred voting for the French all these year even though they can't stand them. Tells you what they think of America.
No your thinking of New Brunswick. Kanada is north of the Great Lakes near Michigan.- Tom
No, no, no, you both are mistaken. Canada is a patch of area across Buffalo in NY and extend to the northern shores of Lake Ontario. ;-)
When was the last time you were here, NZer?
Your Canadian bashing is becoming tiresome to say the least.
Well I certainly hope that Ontario voters ARE outraged. If they are not, the question begs to be answered WHY NOT? Do they appreciate being RULED and STOLEN FROM by this band of CRIMINALS, the likes of which Canada has never seen before?????? It will be up to Ontario which way this Country goes.
They sound just like typical liberal, jerk-weed, moonbats! >:-}
Two years ago. In the vote-rich Windsor-Toronto-Ottawa triangle in Ontario and Montreal/Cantons-d'Est areas in Quebec no less.
Don't deceive yourself. Ontario cannot be where it is if the middle mum and pop Anglophone voters don't agree to the Liberal Party manifesto.
