Canada's Conservative Prime Minister (leader of a Party which 60% of Canadians voted against) was elected in 2006 on a platform to bring integrity and honesty back into a corrupted and compromised federal government. Under his steady hand Canada's experienced illegal electoral financing, a mismanaged listerorsis outbreak, a Foreign Affairs Minister leave classified NATO documents in his girlfriends apartment, a Minister of Natural Resources call cancer "sexy", and a governing party hypocritically allow "floor crossing".

This party is knows Canadians don't want to give them a majority - and they hide this desire. But the truth comes out:

Now - what to do? A Liberal majority or even a strong minority is a horrible scenario. Parachute candidate-turn leader Michael Ignatieff is a man who made his fame as an academic sycophantic to imperial aggression. If he - or Harper - was at the helm in 2002 Canada would be bogged down in the Iraq debacle. Ignatieff is the bluest Liberal imaginable - certainly nothing to hope for.

The NDP is too ill-financed and small to form the governing party.

What to do? Simple: eat into Harper's home turf. The NDP has formed provincial governments in Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and British Columbia. While the provincial arms are more centrist, there is still hope. Many Western ridings in 2006 were contests between the New Democratic Party and the Conservatives. For instance:

Edmonton East

Conservative Peter Goldring (50.93%) to New Democrat Ray Martin (32.321%).

Saskatoon - Rosetown - Biggar

Conservative Kelly Block (45.39%) to New Democrat Nettie Wiebe (44.45%)

Regina - Lumsden - Lake Centre

Conservative Tom Lukiwski (51.09%) to NewDemocrat Fred Kress (28.53%).

Edmonton - Strathcona

New Democrat Linda Duncan (42.54%) to Conservative Rahim Jaffer (41.61%).

Kamloops - Thompson - Cariboo

Conservative Cathy McLeod (45.98%) to New Democrat Michael Crawford (35.93%)

Nanaimo - Alberni

Conservative James Lunney (46.68%) to New Democrat Zeni Maartman (31.73%)

Pitt Meadows - Maple Ridge - Mission

Conservative Randy Kamp (51.69%) to New Democrat Mike Bocking (32.93%)

Surrey North

Conservative Dona Cadman (39.35%) to New Democrat Rachid Arab (36.17%)

Vancouver Island North

Conservative John Duncan (45.78%) to New Democrat Catherine Bell (41.43%)

Elmwood - Transcona

New Democrat Jim Jim Maloway (45.95%) to Conservative Thomas Steen (40.51%)

Clearly, if the NDP wasn't mismanaging its resources so much by trying to win Quebec working class voters from the faux seperatist (de facto autonomist) Bloc Queobecois and started pouring funds into a few of these close Western ridings, we'd see a least a few less Conservative MPs and a much weaker position for Canada's narcissistic Prime Minister.

Politics: A fantasy game , like a boring board game, like RISK, and a foggy
abstraction of world, where the object of the game is to tell people whatever
will make them smile more than the other party does, which is very much
talk and next to no action, other than putting a happy face on catastrophic
things so that people may tolerate them a while longer, scandalous behavior,
diplomatic activity, foggy I say because it is so non-specific in detail that
it takes a very dull mind to believe a single word of it ... has any relation
to physical reality whatsoever.

Politics: A primitive godless Religion.
Behold the emperors and their new invisible clothes.
Behold how fashion changes in their invisible robes.
Behold all colors of clear, numbered by the year.
