63 Percent Sure.

Did Harper get your shorts in a knot on Monday, Jan 23rd and you can't afford to launder them?

Not to worry!!

63% of Canadian voters didn't even vote for Harper!



Murray Dobbin wrote in the Tyee, Not So Bad, Eh?. It'll get you some perspective on what we might expect. Pretty much a lame duck Conservative Government.

Even the Americans were watching this one with more than a bit of interest. This is from an article on Alternet.org by Joshua Holland, "Cry in your Molson". There are many comments on the post by reasonable people and I, yours truly darthcricket, couldn't resist the Molson's!!! So I posted

"Molson's is American!"
It was a sad day for hockey when the frothheads at Molson's got guzzled by Coors. This is a prime example of "deep integration" which was a boilingfrog deception for the right Liberals and is a wet dream for the Harper Conservatives. Deep Integretion is the same as a stealth, fifth column, invasion of Canada. Now that the two major players are onside with this one, we have to be very watchful of this, not to mention the exponentially valuable commodity of WATER!

and further down:

One other BIG irony! John Molson, the founder of Molson's, was part of a group of wealthy Montreal business men in the 1880's who were pressuring freer trade and for eventual annexation to the US. There is a book written by David Orchard who is a Conservative, but NOT a Harper Conservative (and that is another wild story in Canadian Conservative history),


The Fight For Canada: Four Centuries of Resistance to American Expansionism.

Canada has always been a target for American Manifest Destiny, either by force of invasion - none successful, trade policy - potentially successful, or just plain political interference - regime change, eg. JFK's operatives in Canada to defeat the Diefenbaker Gov't and install a gov't that soon allowed the testing of US Bomarc Missles over Canadian air space.

And for another perspective on Canadian values, 63% of us for sure, for our southern friends, read this interview with David Orchard, Canada, Nationalism, and Empire".

So that being said and that being read, we can be sure of one thing, it his improbable that the sky will fall. It would be more likely to be bird shit!
