Good luck, Canadians on tomorrow's election.
Here's hoping you kick out Harper and I hope the NDP marches to victory! Tommy Douglas would be proud. Would not mind to see an NDP-Green-Bloc coalition.

2. it will be a Harper minority...better than the majority for obvious reasons
But the NDP looks like they are coming on strong, not a bad thing.
Maybe there will be another election by the time I get home and I can help take harper down!

3. fascism's on the march....
harper might probably win (the facts will be covered up regardless) since it's a fact that MONEY determines who wins elections, and the fascist-cons will outspend the anti-fascists $10 to $1. Though relatively few believe the lying liars anymore. enough rightwingers do believe the news that they win by default when most voters stay home (see ronald reegan/gw bush!) On local hate radio Saturday morning 'Money and power' show, the hook is.... the US DOLLAR is worthless and people best buy gold silver diamonds etc to save wealth. According to these guys, the US Gov forced to keep interest rates low in order to suck investment into US dollars/stock markets from global investors- but they've being doing that too long now and a total collapse is coming ($10 loaf bread/litre of gas by Xmas time!)...iow the rightwing can't give up power even if they lose, because too many corporate greed/warpigs will be arrested and jailed etc if they let go ...harper's despised even by the rightwingers (he's run massive deficits like no one in history, ie shades of adolph hitler, ronald reegan, gw bush, marge thatcher etc)
i don't listen to news anymore as it's too obvious what the pig's going to do...

4. Canadian elections are publicly funded (I believe).
We need that system in America; that will dilute corporate influence in elections.
