Election Results are in Justin Trudeau is the new Prime Minister
- Thread starter B00Mer
- Start date
Oops...I guess any last remnants of the idea that Wally had his head on the outside of his rectum just went out the window.
In the old days, NDP leaders like David Lewis or Ed Broadbent would rather fall on a sword than do the centrist tango to win an election!
We saw something similar in the last Ontario election, when the majority of voters wanted an alternative to the mediocre Wynne Gov., but new provincial leader - Andrea Horvath followed the Mulcair strategy: take the lead and start talking tax cuts and balanced budgets....acting more like a saner version of the Conservatives. The Liberals get to move all over the map.....nobody is clear on what...if any...are core Liberal policies; but most people....even those who don't like the NDP...expect them to be on the left! When they shift to the middleground, everyone to the left of the centerline starts asking why they should vote for another centrist party!
On a serious note, what are the odds that Harper has a ****load of political favours to cash in now? I'm guessing that we will learn that he has suddenly become Canada's most successful and lucrative lobbyist or that he's on the board of directors of a least a dozen or so major corporations, where he only has to show up once or twice a year to collect a fat paycheck......it's got to be something! If he's been carrying water for the oil companies and others just to collect his salary, he'd have to be a fool.
Valueless digital currency, the myth of money, meaningless numbers pulled out of some bankers azz.... fiat currency.What word would you suggest?
Oh no! I guess we are going to get 4 years of Wally pouting doom and gloom of the same caliber he has been puking up about Obama for the last 8 years. I may have to commit digital suicide (shoot my computer).
The polls were wrong. They failed to predict the size of the Liberal vote.
Somebody has to replace Flossy's & your pouting doom and gloom.
And history will prove us right. Obviously, most Canadians agreed with us as they punted Harpo's sorry azz. Justin hasn't even taken the reigns yet and Wally is already caterwauling.
How about a currency based of something tangible, like silver or gold or whatever. Fiat currency is only based on debt and the accumulation of debt.
This is one 'old stock Canadian' who is neither screaming nor wailing........no echoes here. When once I was a supporter of Stephen Harper, I became very disillusioned with his pro-Israel, pro-war, pro-big oil stance in the past few years. He was taking my country in a direction that I did not agree with at all. I wish him well but am not at all sorry to see him gone. I still voted for our Conservative candidate as did the majority of voters in our constituency as she is a good MP for our riding.
Canadians chose what they did for a variety of reasons. History will look back on Trudeau based upon what he does and how Canada does in his term.
Naaah....Never Cannuck.....
Well.....He never admits to it anyway
Now get ready for another Dance
In your murse? Or in the place from where you drag out yer leftist propaganda?

from the 'in box' :
Trudeau only received 39.5% of the vote — and only because the NDP vote collapsed in the last week. Despite total name recognition, a fawning media and advisors flown in from Barack Obama’s campaign team, he couldn’t crack 40%. And the Conservatives — despite the voter fatigue of having been in office for nearly ten years — still got 32% of the vote. The triumphalism at the CBC hides the fact that their Trudeaumania isn’t universal.
