Canadian Election Results

CBC just made the call - Stephen Harper will lead a minority government in Canada and will be the next prime minister of Canada.


Since Ace is back, and blogging again, I think I'll call this post my last. I'd like to publicly thank Ace for including me in the motley band of guests whom he entrusted with his blog. It's been fun, and I'll see you all in the comments.

Well, then, I will be the first commenter on your last post.

Does Harper speak French?

Posted by: Dave in Texas on January 23, 2006 10:24 PM

Oui. (Although I don't really know, I do know he speaks the one language I know the Bloc Quebecois speaks: power).

Posted by: Harry Callahan on January 23, 2006 10:31 PM

It should be interesting to see what the Bloc does, considering Quebec threw a lot of support behind the Conservatives. They are obviously trying to get a cabinet appointment or two, but the strength of their showing also suggests Quebec is getting twitchy again.

Maybe another independence referendum in a few years?

Congrats, Canada!

Are the NDP further left than the Libs?

I'm going to Capt Quarters to see what his take on this is.
Ed must be beside himself.

As far as I can tell, the major parties in Canada range from moderate democrats (Lieberman) to moonbat lefitist liberal (Cynthia McKinney) in the political spectrum.

"Are the NDP further left than the Libs?"

Yes, but only to the same extent that Barbara Streisand is further left than Ace.

Can't believe after all the scandals, the Liberals still won 103 seats. Do Canadians not read their own media? Do they not want clean government?

Can't believe after all the scandals, the Liberals still won 103 seats. Do Canadians not read their own media? Do they not want clean government?

Atlantic (Eastern) Canada went Liberal because they saw the Conservatives ahead in the polls and generally buck the trends because they think that's what will give them a greater voice in the government (plus, they hate the rest of the country).
Ontario stayed Liberal because the Liberals have been pretty good to them (just not to the rest of the country).
Those factors, and a last minute surge from the NDP out West (knocking out Conservatives) is what kept the Conservatives from being handed a majority government.
The lesson is: Atlantic Canada blows.

In other news...

The U.S. administration, excited by the resurgence of right wing politics on the continent, has had a change of heart, and has decided to give back the $5 billion dollars in software lumber tariffs that were stolen from Canada.

Posted by: BC on January 24, 2006 11:13 AM

Sure, come to Maine and try to make that argument.

Go to Millinocket or Rumford and try to say that we "stole" $5 billion from Canada in tariffs on an industry that is heavily subsidized by the Canadian government.

I'm not crazy about tariffs, but your wording is imprecise at best.

Apparently Canada doesn't listen to Michael Moore, either.

CJN podcast 1400 copy.jpg
CBD and Sefton discuss President Trump's cabinet picks, including the all-important "Bikini Measure." And the continuing pogroms in Europe, driven by uncontrolled and massive Muslim immigration, and aided by Europe's traditional Jew-Hate.
Written by Ben Meiselas:

"Chuck Todd wrote the most idiotic thing I've read today, and it perfectly encapsulates the problem with corporate media. It's also a confession. He wrote, "These confirmation hearings may just save cable TV for the short term."

You see, people like Chuck Todd and their corporate benefactors are losing relevance. Americans are sick and tired of their lazy reporting, blatant lies, "both sides" equivocations, and outright cheerleading for fascism. By ignoring the most obvious lessons of history, corporate media rooted for chaos, drama, torment, crime, and hardship, believing idiocracy and fascism would be good for ratings.

Well, here it is, Chuck Todd. And no one cares about you or your network. In fact, we hold you responsible for forcing this circus upon us.

If Senate confirmation hearings take place at all, we, the people, are not watching them on your network, Chuck."

(Found on DU, if you hadn't guessed.)

Trump announces RFKJr. for HHS (via the NY Post):
"For too long, Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation, and disinformation when it comes to Public Health," Trump wrote in his announcement, making rare use of his X account to broadcast a cabinet pick.

"The Safety and Health of all Americans is the most important role of any Administration, and HHS will play a big role in helping ensure that everybody will be protected from harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceutical products, and food additives that have contributed to the overwhelming Health Crisis in this Country. Mr. Kennedy will restore these Agencies to the traditions of Gold Standard Scientific Research, and beacons of Transparency, to end the Chronic Disease epidemic, and to Make America Great and Healthy Again!"
