And now for some good news, even if it is from a left leaning newspaper.

Wouldn’t that be a kick in the pants if Canada goes to the Right at just the time we appear to behaving an implosion towards the Left?

the nice thig about canada is that both conservatives and Liberals believe it is not good to have much debt. Alberta doesn’t have any debt at all. And conservatives aren’t afraid to talk about free trade and cutting the corp tax, unlike Americans.

“Wouldn’t that be a kick in the pants if Canada goes to the Right at just the time we appear to be having an implosion towards the Left?”

***
Last election cycle, Australia held a national vote just weeks before the USA.
I held Aussies and their issues to be
sufficiently similar to us and ours
that their vote constituted a sort of poll on ours of vast sample size.
Hence, minimal margin of polling error.

Mr. Howard, the right guy, won.
And immediately i felt sure that our lesser of two evils also would win.
And indeed ... Bush did.

Canada and Harper give me a tingling deja vu feeling up my leg.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and Mr. Sneakers!

Did he get to mail in a vote for Harper?

Oh, Harper will win alright.

The question is if Canada will give him a majority government this time.

I hope we do.

I think it would help McCain/Palin.

I have access to a Canadian satellite dish (I just love hockey and curling) and I’ve been watching the election commericials.

The Liberals have some loof who wants a carbon tax and comes off as a “quintesential Quebecer looney”.

The New Democrat tries to come off as “Hi, I’m Mr. Macho man with one hand in my pocket, a smile and a Captain Picard hair style.”

The Conservative, Harper, is the only one that comes off as sane.

Just my two cents eh?

It’s meant to scare leftist voters into getting off their @$$3$ and voting.

Europe and Canada are turning hard right, and in the US we are turning hard left.

“Compassionate conservatism” claims another victim.

Great News, liberals being rejected across the globe! Hope we can do the same with our liberal cheese-eating surrender monkey!

The group of eight leading economic powers are the US, Canada, Japan, Great Britain, France, Italy, Germany, and Russia. As was pointed out on NRO today, if the Obamessiah is elected, the US will have the furthest left government of the Eight. Even Putin would likely be to Basrrack’s right!

A Harper win would have ZERO effect on the US election. If McCain/Palin win, however, there would be a common ideological bent at the top of both governments. Sort of like the Regan/Mulrooney days.
