from an American who has seen more than a few episodes of Royal Canadian Air Farce

LOL! And what about "fer sure." ;)

Love that show--Canada does political satire very well.

So what was the ad?

IIRC, that was the ad, which was pulled in record time, where the Martin crew bemoaned some policy proposal by Mr Harper to beef up the Canadian Reserve Forces as "putting *military troops* in our cities, IN OUR CITIES!!" Definitely over the top, and it didn't play well in Winnepeg, or so the story goes...

And, I just can't see a single one of them saying anything this classy.

Isn't it sad...

These Liberals had become SO ARROGANT that they honestly thought it didn't matter what they said or did. They had a bad case of the spirit of entitlement!! In fact worse than entitlement - they could STEAL, REARRANGE THE BOOKS, PASS TAX PAYERS DOLLARS AROUND IN SUITCASES, ARRANGE KICKBACKS, ENGAGE IN PATRONAGE, You name it, they DO IT and DID IT. They seriously thought everyone should just FORGET ABOUT IT. I call that 'OUT TO LUNCH" not out of touch!!

His message: don't fear Harper, reverse engineer him.

While that might be Kinsella's message, it is easier said than done. One must first understand what the individual parts are, after one has done the disassembly, to understand how the total system works. Something I fear is quite beyond them, without a fundamental philosophical change on their part. Witness the delicious death-spiral of the Democrats today. They are either unwilling, or are perhaps completely unable, to shift their philosophy into a coherent *post 9-11 worldview*. Ergo, they are weaker now, than they've ever been...

Stephen Harper is just great in person, eh?

Congrats on the Pontiac win!

We want change, and if Stephen Harper is the only way to achieve that, so be it. Pass the cranberries.

Then they should have voted for a majority government.

To be honest, I didn't think Harper –a conservative- had a chance of winning. Hopefully, with him in power US-Canada relationship should get better.

I'm glad he won, he's good for Canada and the US.

He sure is!

He did a fantastic job of making his case in Quebec. My Gaspesienne mother-in-law voted Conservative for the first time in her life yesterday, for exactly the reasons specified by Cannon and Harper: We've got to get rid of the Liberals, but Quebec's interests cannot be adequately represented by a party that doesn't have a national voice.
