So, I got a phone call this afternoon asking me if I would do a survey on the PCs and Steve Harper. I told them I was a sure thing on voting their way, but would do the survey anyhow. Then, they asked if I would allow a sign on my front lawn[Yes] I hope it POs the neighbours!:lol:I am guessing their really be a Fall Election, and while it may not change anything, i am still voting for who I consider to be the best to run our country.

I'll be warm and full, that's what money will buy.

I think I will be spending a good portion of my winter at my new cottage on a skidoo and ice fishing.:cool:

What the devil is going on?

OTTAWA - Stephen Harper's quest for a majority government begins Sunday when the prime minister heads to Rideau Hall to seek the dissolution of Parliament and a federal election, sources say.

OK - how is it that you can call an election just whenever you want? And on a Sunday? This is so alien to me. And this part, I need an explanation:

"A quick campaign would also cancel byelections set for next week. It would allow for a vote to be held before a mid-October Francophonie leaders' summit in Quebec City.

And, perhaps more importantly, it would conclude before the U.S. presidential election in November. One of the U.S. candidates - Barack Obama - had his campaign undermined by the leak of a Canadian diplomatic memo last winter. That incident would be more likely to resurface on the Canadian campaign trail if Obama happened to be elected president before Canadians voted."

And just who was this Canadian diplomat?

OK, I thought Stephen Harper was the prime minister. Who was the diplomat? Or, are they one in the same? What did this memo say?

Harper working on Sunday-shows great respect for Christians. Why not Monday to Friday?
Harper would have joined the Coalition of the Willing and Canada would be in Iraq. He pushed to keep Canada in Afghanistan and Dion TURTLED and went along with it after a song and dance routine--I don't even know where the others are --they have become invisible.
We 30million have pollution control, testing vehicle emission-just south we have300million with no emission testing and reduced controls, we buy from maufacturers in other countries some with no pollution control--but we 30million Canadians buy from the 1.5billion polluters--- Great plan Green and Dion. Jack where are you ?Can't vote Parti Québécois.

I can't figure this one out either, just thirty million of us, we have one of the largest boreal forests on the planet that produce oxygen and sequester untold amounts of CO2, and yet we must bear the burden for china,India and the US, I say we do far more than the rest of them put together. We should do our part, but not alone.

Why not build yourself the "little space heater " and deduct the cost of the construction on your income statement ?
.....no imagination , too lazy , no ability ?....one of these is an "absolute truth" .

Now they've asked me if I wanted to do the mailin vote! Never have done that before,so I won't be trudging off down the road to the polling station after all. I know Paul Zed is well liked around here..and maybe the PCs are worried?

Paul Zed, after the Firearms fiasco, came in third in an election in Fundy Royal......after the PCs and the Reform Party......Yep Reform, in NB.

There are propably a higher proportion of gun owners in Fundy Royal than in any other riding in Canada.

The idiot was running around before the election offering $10,000 of infrastructure money to each gun club in his riding..........they threw him out anyway.

And that is the nicest story I ever heard about the guy.

My gun club actually entertained the idea of taking the money.......and making a $10,000 donation to the Reform Party. :)

But, we have some sense of what is right and proper.

So the Liberals moved him to an urban riding, were he beat out his rival (the good Dr. Doherty) using such questionable methods that they had to re-run the nomination process.

I guess he got away with it the second time.

Complete scum.
