The best thing about the provincial election is it's all over, including the crying.
Let's shake off the dust and take a brand spanking new look at tomorrow.
I don't mean to make you gag but, from my perch, I see Prime Minister Stephen Harper itching to call an election.
Our prime minister is hopping up and down so high and so fast, he looks like a little boy in need of a place to piddle.
Harper has been taking a look at the lay of the land and has come to the conclusion the timing couldn't be better. Once tomorrow's throne speech is delivered, the old hide-and-seek game, complete with "ready or not", will echo throughout the country.
Look at the latest news: Worried about those damned body bags returning from that funny far-off land, Harper appoints a bunch of nice flag-waving Canadians to a committee to turn the war in Afghanistan into a good thing for Canada.
As a bonus, yesterday, a gift landed on the doorstep of the House of Commons, putting a big grin on Harper's face. It's rumoured the prime minister takes his cue from U.S. President George W. Bush and doesn't read much. But as sure as God made little green apples, Harper's lapping up every word in former Liberal prime minister Jean Chretien's latest memoirs, which hit the streets on the weekend.
I bet Harper did the pee dance when he came to the part where Chretien hit former Grit prime minister Paul Martin up the side of the head with a two-by-four, further weakening the Liberals.
The Liberals are asleep at the switch. The Grits don't even have candidates in place in 26 Ontario ridings, including Newmarket-Aurora.
I gotta ask: What has made the Grit giant shrink?
We actually have two very credible Federal Liberal Nomination Contestants that are very excited and more than prepared for a federal election here in Newmarket-Aurora.

I think Liberals have lost touch of what real Canadians want out of their government, especially in Quebec and Alberta. Dion has been nothing short of a total disaster for the party. I think they should just call the election and hope for the best. Their chances won't improve with Dion as leader. Taking a hit now and putting someone credible in after is their best chance at recovering.

I think the Cons have never been in touch with what Canadians want from their government.
Canadians are tired of elections (i.e. 50% turnout in the provincial). The only people who would benefit from such a lack of interest are the Neoconservatives (read: Harper) who prey on weak democracy.
Dion is a compassionate figure and an intellect. Last I checked; those were desirable qualities for a world leader. He also has first rate experience in dealing with one of the greatest threats to the existence of our way of life—Global Warming.

You ain't seen or heard it all yet
or you would have written about the truth about politics you will find on my web site and that what you will find on the web site at the bottom of the page about the government conspiracy against the people by members of the Law Society of Upper Canada lead by the SNOWMAN. It just doesn't matter who you vote for because they don't give a damn about the individual's Charter rights for they are too busy taking care of themselves
I have it all irrefuatably documented over a period of two years
Attorney General 2007
SNOWMAN
Faith in God and the Law is the answer to the Charlatan’s prayers
Our mind is God given to control our body
Grasp a firm hold or the SNOWMAN will enslave you for eternity
The intent of the Snowman is to have us trust and believe the establishment strives for a moral society whilst they are nothing but ROBBING HOODS intent on control of our minds:
Hence our bodies
When you are in need of Justice don’t look to the SNOWMAN for he will melt before your eyes
The SNOWMAN is the GUARDIAN of THE RULE OF LAW
The rule of law is the well established legal principle, that most elusive concept, hard to easily define that protects the individual and society as a whole
The SNOWMAN fronts the powers that be, members of the Law Society of Upper Canada,political arena,and affluent associates of the Law Society of Upper Tier Canada
They are a personal interest group, of tyrannical forces well organized, in an ingenious plot to plunder the people as their initiative is to have the people believe they represent them whilst using them for their benefit
.
Their kryptonite is the Truth of their conspiracy being released to the people
Enter the
Law Society of Lower Tier Canada
No lawyer, Barristers or solicitors
http://groups.google.com/group/peoples-law-society
We are an organization of the people for the people intent on the moral society guaranteed by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
Whereas Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God and THE RULE OF LAW
God is supreme, the aspirations attributed to God are the law and the bullshit is attributed to the SNOWMAN
The Society of Lower Tier Canada has broken their secret code to melt the SNOWMAN permanently
CAUTION: Go ahead, click on it If you can handle the TRUTH
