This was the main reason I wouldn't vote for them and seriously dislike Harper. That and the degree to which they were bringing in cheap attack ads.
I mean, their policies don't really line up with my beliefs so I wasn't going to vote for them, but there are some things that go beyond simple dislike to "get out now". Heck I couldn't bring myself to vote for the Liberals for years due to the APEC protests and Cretien's glib responses. As long as he was leading I wasn't voting for them, even if they did well in balancing the books and then re-prioritizing science with the Canaian Foundation for Innovation grants.
In 2008, Harper somehow "convinced" the Governor General to prorogue Parliament so that he wouldn't have to face a confidence vote that might allow the Liberals, NDP and BQ to form a (perfectly legal) coalition government. In 2009, he again persuaded the GG to prorogue Parliament so that he wouldn't have to face charges of Contempt of Parliament. A month and a bit ago, he did have to face Contempt of Parliament charges, his government was defeated and we had an election.
AND WE GAVE HIM A MAJORITY???
What do I call myself now that I'm ashamed to call myself Canadian? I don't want the world to think I'm stupid!
Well, we certainly earned our share of stupid Canuck jokes yesterday. Here's one --
Did you hear about the canuck who died ice fishing? The zamboni nearly hit him, then he was run over trying to write down it's license plate.
There were two drunk canucks, Pat and Mike, lying in the gutter under a street light. Pat turned to Mike and said, "Is that the sun or the moon?" and Mike had him arrested for aggressive pan-handling.
How many canucks does it take to change a light bulb? None; no matter who's holding the light bulb, those turning the ladder will shake him off arguing which way it goes.
What has two legs, two arms and flies? A canuck standing in s***.
A canuck was taken to hospital after being run over. The cops asked his passenger what happened. "We were driving down Main Street and the engine light came on, so he got out to change the oil."
