Michael Moore’s Nightmare: A Canadian Bush?
Newsmax is running a great article titled Michael Moore Fears ‘Canadian Bush’. Here’s a glimpse into Michael Moore’s thinking:
“These are no ordinary times,” Moore proclaimed. “And as you go to the polls on Monday, you do so while a man running the nation to the south of you is hoping you can lend him a hand by picking Stephen Harper because he’s a man who shares his world view? Do you really ant to help George Bush by turning Canada into his latest conquest?” Moore asked.
Mr. Moore is worried about this because he’s paranoid of conservatives, wherever they’re located. That’s a sorry way to go through life, to be honest. For conservatives like me, though, a conservative, pro-American government to the north of us sounds like a great thing.
Experts say the question with Monday’s election is not whether Conservatives will win, but by how much. “The Liberals are being blown out of the water,” University of Toronto professor Nelson Wiseman told Bloomberg News. “The only thing we’re discussing now is whether the Conservatives are going to form a majority or a minority.”
That’s going to be what I’ll be watching for tonight. By the way, I plan on tuning into Captains Quarters for all the election results. Captain Ed said that he’ll start liveblogging the election about 6pm tonight.

The only bad thing about Harper becoming PM in Canada is that Moore might spend more time here in the US.

It’s the sacrifice we should be willing to make if we gain an ally to our north. Sometimes you’ve got to take the good with the bad. LOL

Thou shalt not covet (Canada)
Do you think it’s true that the things we say we hate the most and the things we most covet are very often one and the same? … that would explain the right’s captivation with the giddy thought of “turning” Canada…

PM Harper may have his faults and is by no means perfect, who is, but right or wrong he makes a decision and sticks by it. There is an expression in military leadership: lead, follow, or step aside. It is time for the Liberals to step aside and rethink their future as they did not demonstrate the clear vision and leadership Canadians were seeking. More of the same old, same old.
Although on the opposite side of the political scale, the NDP and its Leader Jack Layton should be given due credit for their wins and gains. Jack Layton will make a tough opposition leader in the house and certainly do his best to keep the PC’s on their toes. That is his job as opposition leader.
The PC’s should not take their majority for granted as Canadians will be watching them closely for the next four years. At the end of the four years they had better show results.
Canadians voters have a long memory and have fired governments (Federal or Provincial) if they are not satified with their performance. Unlike in the US system, which to us seems to be in perpetual election mode, (no criticism intended) once an election is called we only need 40 days to decide whether to “rehire” or “fire” the Prime Minister and his party.
Some provincial parties have been sent to oblivian for non-performance: Ask the Social Credit party in British Columbia under Premier Vander-Zalm or the NDP under Premier Bob Rae (now a federal liberal) in Ontario.
PM Mulroney (PC), PM Cretian (LIB), PM Martin (LIB) all felt the Canadian voters rath in their time and paid the price. The PC party under MULRONEY was nearly decimated by the Liberals. Now “Iggy” and his Liberals have been decimated by the NDP and PC parties in this election. The Bloq Quebqious (Pro- Seperatism Party) under Gille Ducieppe was beated so bad by the NDP in Quebec (unheard of in Candian history) no longer even has party status in Parliment.
There are lessons to be learned from this election by both the victors and the vanquished.
Our system my be strange to most Americans but it work for us.
As for Michael Moore…. butt out ! Our country, our system, our decision.
