I just took the CBC Political Compass Test. Apparently my views most closely coincide with the Green Party.

Boy, it looks like the Cons are throwing the Kitchen Sink at Ignatieff.

It's funny, because so much of Harper's solid 30% of the country base really like American style economics and culture.

Yes. that is ironic.

C.R.A.P. is also going after the NDP - does this show they might be going it head to head in some ridings?

Or maybe they just have more money then they know what to do with and are deciding to play it safe?
Probably it's that Harper realized Layton's poll numbers are higher than Ignatieff's and that Layton may well be his major competition this time around. So now he wants to destroy Layton's reputation like he destroyed Ignatieff's.

Personnally, i wouldn't mind voting for the NDP or the liberals, heck even the Greens, but uh... They usually don't have much to offer, so i'm basically just choosing the lesser evil, which is the BQ. =/

And yes, i know it's polarizing the votes towards the right. =.=

@Master_Pedant:
"Always the same debates leading nowhere"
"It is time for that to change"

Apparently debates in Quebec's National Assembly are a lot like dogs barking. Considering the Speaker recently resigned due to the 'toxic environment' and 'disrespect of the opposition' I am somewhat in agreement

Okay, how about this ad (from 2008)

Well, if you really want I could translate everything. But I think the image of the bike with square wheels should suffice in explaining the analogy they make between 'Bloc' and 'block-y'

Just the general gist. Is it about the Bloc not doing much in terms of the environment and being uber-seperatist, or something else? From what I understanding, the NDP competes with the Bloc for working class Francophones in Quebec.

A vote for the bloc quebecois
bloc environment (ugly)
bloc average families (disenfranchised)
bloc economy (depressed/poor- see car on concrete blocks)
bloc future of quebec: a maze?

de-block Quebec. Vote NDP - the power to change

The overall theme seems to be that the NDP would be 'smooth' as opposed to full of 90 degree angles/blind corners. Additionally the whole Quebec-maze thing could be a metaphor for the dishonesty of the Bloc

Well, it looks like NDP strategy is to focus on Quebec. I personally think winning one riding in the most Anglophonic city in Quebec has inspired the Dippers a bit too much, it'd be much more rational to focus on NDP-Con "swingable" seats in Saskatchewan, BC, and Edmonton.

Also a funny bit of news on one Bloc head.


Incumbent Bloc candidate sorry for saying NDP opponent's Cree ancestry a weakness

It would be nice if the NDP got Quebec out of the Bloc's slimy hands. They really have no interest in anybody's well being
I also heard about that Bloc candidate's comments, and I am pretty much unsurprised. The Bloc and PQ are both xenophobic. Though usually this manifests as anti-semitism or anti-Anglo sentiment (which most people care less about, except this Anglo, I suppose) on Vigile.net (a horrid separatist website, that also stole my name...)
