Yep, the Holly weird folks will not move to Canada until they retire and want to make money on property investments.Canada has an economy. Obama deep sixed our economy along with his false Osama Bin Laden body.
Read a blog last week about the affect this election would have on oil prices if the liberal party took power. Harper’s gov’t has been friendly to the oil/shale industry where the U.S. gets the largest % of its imported oil. This has kept oil prices lower than it would be now if environmental controls were not relaxed. Not saying oil is currently cheap, but it would have gotten worse by way of price for U.S. consumers had Harper not won.
Had the NDP won, it would have implemented the same disastrous policies that led Ontario voters to toss out Bob Rae’s provincial NDP government after just five years in power.
While 61% of Canadians voted for parties of the Left (and they’re a stupid lot) their vote is so badly splintered between three leftist parties that the Conservatives were able to win an outright majority with just 39% of the vote.
Canada is far from being a center-right country in majority terms. Trudeaupia has to be reversed incrementally, piece by piece. That’s why Harper is not going to make any radical moves despite his new majority. He will change things one step at a time.
Thanks SJB! What a great day!
He/she seems to be arguing with munin at post #33.
Check out the home page. ;-) OMG, OMG!
What does all of this mean for Canada, bottom line? Reversal of loony leftist laws, or merely the maintenance of the status quo?
That’s what I love about this election...massive FAIL by the Liberals. Force an election and then get your *** handed to you...
I think Harper will pass a lot of laws trhat wer defeated previously by a slim margins. Ending the long gun registry for one.
I also expect to see incentives for businiess expansion in the feld of resource development, especuially oil and mining, as well as transortation subsidies for truck fuel and rail in certain industries.
Harper could also build some really big hydro electric dams in the North, in 5y ears the USA will need the power and the market for selling surplus power is very secure in the USA, since Obama is doing nothing about that except blowing smoke out if his a$$.
So move already!
Lookin for land in Nova Scotia
What about social policy, the oppression and criminalization of Christianity?
That’s wonderful!
I have never been there.
The word “turnout” (as in “higher Tory turnout”) was left out (rather essential word to have skipped over...) ...I corrected myself later but I guess that wasn’t seen...
