I Am Canadian

for those who are voting! be careful when filling in the ballots. there are several different places where ballots slips are pre checked for conservative party. makes me think that Harper will do anything to stay and put Canada into further recession

Bogus story. A take off on the voter machines in the US. If you are going to make up a story at least make it believable.

obviously you are a Harper supporter
HippyJoe
You are obviously a Harper hater. I've been voting in every election since I was 18 and I know that it is impossible for any ballot to be 'pre-marked' for any party.

Harper is scared because he knows he's not going to win with ndp liberal and independent candidates doing better than he is. why do you think he's dropped in the poll's
HippyJoe
Your boring along with telling lies. I really don't care about Harper or Trudeau or Mulcair or May or Duceppe.
drrjr · 26-30, MVIP
what do you care about? trump?
HippyJoe
Nope wrong again. I vote based on philosophy not personality.
drrjr · 26-30, MVIP
philosophy? what's philosophical about politics
HippyJoe
If you have to ask you probably aren't informed enough to vote intelligently.
drrjr · 26-30, MVIP
oh I know how to vote intelligently. I know to vote for someone who won't plant their country further into recession and screw over lower income families
HippyJoe
That is why I would never vote for Trudeau or Mulcair. I guess you aren't old enough to remember the recessions the Liberals and NDP have imposed on the country and or provinces when they were in power. Trudeau's Dad stole a bunch of tax payer's money (Justin is still living off of it) and then DESTROYED the economies of Western Canada. I watched as hard working people making a reasonable living were tossed out of work and lost their houses, marriages and all too often life to suicide when they couldn't look after their families because a Liberal from Quebec decided he should be a rich man. I lived in Saskatchewan and witnessed the recessions of successive NDP governments We used to joke about 'the last one out of Sask. please turn off the lights' because Saskatchewan's greatest export was generations of young people.

Pierre trudeau was one of the best prime minister's this country ever had. he did not steal money from the tax payers. people did not lose their homes. maybe in Saskatchewan they did. honestly what you are saying sounds like typical conservative arrogance
HippyJoe
He almost single handedly destroyed the country. Look at when Quebec became most popular. Look to when Western Separatism was at its peak. Look at when martial law was imposed on the Canadian people almost causing a mutiny in the Armed Forces. Yeah PET was great all right lol
drrjr · 26-30, MVIP
western separatism had nothing to do with trudeau. nor was the country almost destroyed. martial law was never imposed on the people. Quebec became popular with the bloc Quebecois separatist party. when Pierre was in office, this countries economy became the best in the entire G7
HippyJoe
Were you there? I was and it was all about Trudeau and his insane policies. It didn't quiet down until Mulroney took over.
drrjr · 26-30, MVIP
if you think this country would crumble under anyone but Harper, hypothetically what would you do if you ran for prime minister?
HippyJoe
Then of course Quebec separatism peaked under Trudeau's protege Chretien and for some strange reason has completely dropped off the radar screen under Harper. Kind of like that world wide recession of 2008 and on that Canada under Harper has in large part dodged. Of course Canada would have been a lot better of in that time if Ontario had voted anyone but Liberal or NOP. McGuinty and Wynne have destroyed Ontario with needless regulation and insane energy policies.
HippyJoe
Well son I never said I admired Harper and I would replace him as PM as soon as some one better comes along. Unfortunately Trudeau and Mulcair are not better and in fact are much much worse.
drrjr · 26-30, MVIP
as you avoided my question of if that's what you think what would you do if you ran for prime minister
HippyJoe
I'm not running for PM nor would I run for PM. Personally I would love to see us return to a Classic Liberal society not the neo liberalism of a Trudeau or Mulcair. I would like to see the amount of government cut to bare bones and focused on what the BNA act enumerated. I would love to toss PET's constitution and charter in the scrap heap of history and revert to the BNA act until 'we the people' determine something better. The charter is designed to protect the government from the people and thus needs be abandoned.
