As of this writing, Stephen Harper's Conservatives have missed their dreams of a majority in parliament by just eleven seats. Just eleven friggin' seats short of a national nightmare. What the hell is wrong with us, Canada?!?! The Tories are a disaster with their ugly environmental record and no plan that will make any difference at all, their cuts to programs that help the poor, their cutting of women's programs, their slashing of funds to adult literacy programs, and all this hand-in-hand with their tax cuts to corporations and wealthy Canadians.
I'm sick to my stomach at these results. I knew going into this that no matter how ridiculous it is to give them power that they would still form the government anyway, but to increase their representation like this?
Look around! We are seeing the disastrous results of right-wing economic policies! ARGH!
Then there is Alberta. As always, I really hate living here. There is one bright spot, Edmonton Strathcona, that is looking good to go to the NDP right now by the skin of their teeth. Other than that, nowhere else in the province was even close. Welcome to the conservative armpit of Canada.
Sorry, I'm just really pissed off right now.Labels: Anybody hiring in Ontario?, boring Canadian politics, Canada is going downhill, loathesome Alberta politics, wrong-headed voters
