What about Canada?

Now that Steven Harper and the former Harris-government cronies have been sworn in as his cabinet, what do I see as the future of Canada?

Can you say "clusterf**k"???

Nothing good will come of this. Mr. Harper has eighteen months to prove me wrong and to make me eat my words. I will gladly post an apology and a retraction on what a dick I think he is. Problem is, I really do think I am right and I really do believe that we will be worse off. Do I think a change was needed? Damn skippy because the old world thinking in the Liberal ranks had to be purged. The idiocy of the gun laws and the stark refusal to change the Young Offenders Act/Youth Criminal Justice Act just lends fuel to the fire that change was needed throughout.

The issue for me always, and the reason I cannot be a politician, is the blatant hypocrisy that is taken as simply the cost of doing business. The biggest glaring example of this for me right now is the defection of that hypocrtical prick, David Emerson. When Belinda Stronach switched parties, she was vilified in the house of commons and in the media. Sexist comments about "well, she dresses well" when asked what kind of politician she was and how she was "whoring herself" to the Liberals to get a post for her defection are glaringly absent for this dickless wonders defection. The old boy's club in the media and in government is very obviously still in operation.

And so it begins, one the very first day, the true colours of the elected government are starting to show. Maybe they should have let the paint dry first or maybe people should have remembered just who makes up today's Conservative party. Another glaring example is that the man put into the role of having to work with Canada's largest and most populated city, is the same man who sat in the former Conservative government that helped cut many needed programs and devasted this strong province.

And they really wonder why they failed to get a single seat in any of the the largest cities?

It will be really interesting to see how they intend to pay for any of their promises when they are cutting the cash cow that their well-chinned predecessor put into place. Where are they getting the $1200 per child for the day care help they promised lower income families? And where is Harper sending his kids that he thinks he can get daycare for five days a week at twenty five bucks a day? How about, you dipshit, putting more available space out there so that both parents can leave the home and work, allowing you to tax the shit out of both of them, creating the revenue for still more spaces and whatever other hairbrained plan you could come up with using the surplus you will surely accumulate?

Sorry for being so political today but... actually I am not sorry. I don;t think I was political enough. And maybe, just maybe, I will eb able to change that come next election. See you in eighteen months. :)

Ciao.
