It was good seeing the NDP taking away seats from the "séparatiste" and finally something atleast alittle progressive in Quebec. Nationalism is just about as pointless as these left-right arguments below me.
@thedarkone2134 Totally, man, It's just impossible to have any sort of logical discussion about the issues of today when people are so uncompromising and self-righteous, not to mention extremely rude.

Harper will easily win the next election.The NDP will crumble,the Liberals and BLOC will both pick up support but the Tories are in for at least 7 1/2 more years.Get used to it.Its just a shame that Jack won't be around to have the blame placed on his shoulders.No,the NDPers will forever say''What if''....Anyway,here's to good governance!!
@russfromdodge And I suppose "good governance" involves dismantling what's left of our so-called "democracy"? The arrogance of conservatives never ceases to amaze me.

@mokkshaa LOL....Don't get yourself in a tizzy,your vote will still count next election.Just like everyone else's.....The stupidity of Leftists never ceases to amaze me.
@russfromdodge 39% who control 61%, democracy is dead in Canada. 51% of Canadians voted NDP and Liberal in the election (10% voted Block and Green), what does that tell you about who Canadians want in charge?

@dave19941000 Did you whine like this when Chretien won a majority with 37% of the vote??I guess democracy was fine then eh....Get used to Tory majorities,for the next decade at least.
@russfromdodge The torries always screw up when they have a mojority, we might have Harper for the next 7 and a half years, but I dought that we will have him or the torries for atleast a decade after that, he is already making big mistakes that could cost him Ontario next election, and without Ontario majority is impossible for the Torries.
@russfromdodge 1)It is a fact you can look up that out of all the parties, provincially the NDP has the best record out of all of them for balancing budgets. The Liberals come second, and the Tories last. Federally, the Tories have never balanced a budget while it was the Liberals who had consecutive surpluses.
Add to that the current CONS have given us our biggest deficit so far.
@russfromdodge 2)Yes,I believe theres a huge flaw in a system that lets a party with 37% of the vote into power.It ISNT true that when it was Chretien winning with similar numbers "we didnt say anything' I was still unhappy about it.However,this time it IS even worse than during Chretien. Cons would be the first ppl to call the Libs"lefties", so while the majority DID vote against the Libs back then,AT LEAST the majority voted for SOME varying degrees of a "left-of-tories" party
@russfromdodge Even though the system was ALSO flawed back then,but at least with the Libs winning,the 60%who voted for SOME form of a party to the left of the CONS (Lib,NDP,Green,Bloc)got at LEAST that. With the Harpys winning it IS even worse because not only did the same thing happen, but this party is ideologically even FARTHER away from that of the majority.It is unfair/wrong regardless WHICH party wins with only 37% but its even worse when that party is the Alliance\Reform

@ammarios LMFAO....Go soak your head there Leftard......It must be overheating after that inane rant.....Get used to many more years of Tory rule........Merry Christmas
@russfromdodge LOL TYPICAL of a right-wing loon .. absolutely not one single rational thing to say except for ad-hominem. Well, that's ok, I guess it must be difficult for you to actually read and then conjure up a rational response. Anyone with half a brain and the ability to actually reason beyond partisanship knows that such things simply cannot be predicted. But, then again, can't expect a right-winger to actually, heaven forbid, THINK!
@ammarios You do not know the meaning of rational thought.But you are not alone,all Leftards think just like you.Just no sense in trying to talk logic to you,it is a concept far beyond your grasp....Anyway,get used to MANY more years of Tory rule :)))
@russfromdodge BWAHAHA Once again, the exact same non-rational ad-hominem based response without a singlerational thing to say. I have to say, though, good job, you right-wing-loons always manage to make me laugh. Keep it up! :-)
@swiftyJ88 You are an idiot.Conservatism is here to stay for a very long time.Our population is getting older and older voters are more conservative and vote in higher numbers.So get used to it leftard....Harper for 7 more years and another Tory for another 8 or so........:D.........Canada is the envy of the world because we have such good governance....Now go smoke some weed little boy........But tomorrow,get out of your Moms basement and start looking for a job ya bum...
@swiftyJ88 LMFAO........Tories for the next 15 years.......Just get used to it......Put the bong down and face the facts....There is no more Liberal party,the NDP will NEVER get in so I guess that leaves the BLOC to take up the fight eh......LOL....
@swiftyJ88 I sleep very well.Knowing that that we will not be scammed by the Kyoto accord,that our military is receiving the proper equipment to do its job,that the $2billion wasted so far in the useless gun registry is coming to an end and that the Liberal mafia is no longer a power of any significance in this country.Just watch next federal election,the majority is only going to grow....Now keep the noise down,your Mom has to get up in the morning for work to pay for your sorry ass
@swiftyJ88 LMAO,of course you are very well to do,and of course you don't live in your parents basement....Why,no leftist would ever expect others to house and feed them right...You are just too proud to depend on your parents or the state to support you RIGHT....LMFARO......Get a job ya bum
@russfromdodge Plus, from what you said, it is a "hey, our opponents did it, so why shouldn't we?" ..I thought the CCRAP was supposed to be better than the "old parties"? Doesn't sound like that to me. Doing/continuing smthg you know is wrong just because your opponents (who you've always pointed out are "the bad guys") hardly speaks of quality-governing.Especially when electoral reform was part of Harpy's "reform" promise back then. (..cont'd..)
@russfromdodge (..cont'd..) So, right back at you, I guess electoral reform is only good for cons when youre not in power.
Also,anyone with a brain knows that the nature of things is that the pendulum ALWAYS swings back no matter who's in power at some point. Ppl get tired of parties no matter what.
And after the 1984 election cons said the EXACT same thing about "we'll be in power for the next 20 yrs/end of liberals"..2 elections later in 1993, they were decimated to 2 seats.
@russfromdodge (All of this, and I'm not even a Liberal, neither will I be voting Liberal. I just try to not let my political partisanship/party-preference get in the way of facts or history.)
its a sad news that the best this country can come up with is a 20-something kid who did practically nothing beyond filling in an application and won the election.
democracy is now a joke and we are all part of the problem
@wli2718 The NDP used the per vote subsidy to make their votes worth something, the NDP run 20-something year olds because they don't get elected, but the party gets something for the votes in that riding, no one thought they would win, until it was too late. The NDP has a lot of votes just not in one place.
Funny and kind of true. Still, seeing so many young MPs is a breath of fresh air. And quite frankly they can't be much worse than some of the harperites out there.
@inconcordium You are an idiot for implying that a show that isn't intended to elevate the level of political debate does. I've never seen any mention of RMR in a actual debate, dumbass
@77Happy77 For someone so inconceivably and wretchedly stupid, you sure have a love for throwing that word "idiot" around. Do you even know what the word debate means? Do you think that when someone refers to a "national conversation", it means that literally everyone in Canada comes together in one room? Just the shut the fuck up. You've clearly been so busy making shitty Minecraft videos that you haven't read a book or used your brain in years.
@inconcordium You are an idiot for implying that a show that isn't intended to elevate the level of political debate does. I've never seen any mention of RMR in a actual debate, dumbass
@sonic2277 I'm stuck in a Conservative riding, so I'd rather be in your shoes bub. At least you can be reasonably sure your MP won't try to have you taken away, for disagreeing.
@BoredomCorner And i'm stuck in the conservative stronghold of alberta. The only non-conservative riding in the province is here in edmonton, and it's NDP but unfortunately that's not where i live.
@Jeridiculous Haha, I feel your pain. Thank god I'm currently in BC (although let's face it, it's not THAT much better here. The Liberals are basically Conservatives.).
