Stephen Harper steals speech from Emperor Palpatine

In reaction to the bringing down of his government on March 25, 2011, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper seems to have borrowed talking points straight from the mouth of the most evil man in the galaxy: the Emperor himself... Darth Sidious.

People people! Enough argueing over which political party is worse then the other. They're ALL terrible and greedy in their own way. ALL of them. There is no better or worse, just multiple degrees of shitty.

Darth Vader (Harper) the face of the Empire (conservative party) ruled by the secretive master of the Sith (George W Bush) is combated by a young upstart (Mulcair) who came from nowhere (NDP Party) with the help of an old master (Layton) struck down before his hopes would come to fruition, but his once misfit band of rebels (NDP) soon become the Empire's (Conservative Party) biggest opposition

@zany m - I think you've summarized Canada's flaws but also why it is a great country. people really are given equal opportunity in this land.. Originally habituated by the native nations, it was taken almost 1000 years later by europeans, only to be on the brink of becoming a globalized country with a big immigration community

[Chadaface]

stop bringing Canada's past into this, times have changed and Canada internally is certainly the most peaceful country  at the momment,no doubt about that

[zany m]

Most peaceful country on earth??!?? HAH!

FIRST OFF, you do realize you are referring to a colonial settler society that stole the land it sits on through what amounts to genocide, right? a country that was at the forefront of the eugenics movement? a country that a century ago was openly proclaiming in parliament that it didn't want to let "mongoloids" or negroes into its borders other than temporarily for exploiting their labor?

....what war in afghanistan?!

it's called history. try it.
