God help us all…… can you imagine Stephane Dion and Barack Obama in charge of the two so-called leading democracies in the world!!!!!! What do we do? Where do we go? Nowhere left to hide!!!! Are we really so blind that we cannont see?
It’s time for change in our world! Please join me in the quest to move away from the logic of a “benevolent dictatorship” to a new party that I’m prepared to put in the first donation for, called - “THE COMPASSIONATE REDNECK PARTY OF CANADA”.

Conservative - 130

This morning I voted as soon as the polls opened. Was I eager to vote? No. I voted because of civic duty and a deep sense of awareness what happens when that process is taken away. Just this past Sunday, October 12, the Canadian veteran who single handedly liberated my hometown in the Netherlands, Zwolle, passed away at the age of 87. Leo Major, of Quebec, on April 13, 1945, lost his army buddy Willy Arsenault, also from Quebec, at the start of what turned out to be a heroic mission that far, far exceeded his marching orders. My family since has never missed a vote. Since becoming Canadian, I have not missed one either. Now with so-called human rights tribunals running roughshod over long established jurisprudence and political correctness muzzling free political debate, we are inching towards the loss of freedoms that Willy Arsenault died for at Zwolle, the Netherlands and that Leo Major helped restore overseas. This has affected my voting, it no longer is done with a light step and a cheerful mind. Today’s election, what ever the results, therefore does not settle a thing as long as the human rights tribunals are not subject to the same laws as our entire judicial system and political correctness gives way to honest and frank debate. Therefore a very challenging chore lies ahead. I thank the National Citizens Coalition for keeping these matters on the agenda of this otherwise so great a nation.

Albert’s posting is inspirational. Couldn’t add a thing to it. Although I miss my WW II era father deeply, I am glad he did not live to see what Canada has become.

I agree with Craig - I read ALBERT’s comment and hung my head - where has our Canada gone? One thing for those out east - IF the Liberals win, you can bet your life, literally, there will be a huge push for separation of the WEST - and I will be among them. I won’t watch this country go to ’socialist hell’ where we become sheep and expect our gov’t to do our thinking - nope - can tell you - this election is about ‘freedom of thought and the right to be accountable as an individual.’ I pray other Canadians see this - understand this - cuz it’s there.

Good job ALBERT!!!! You are a great Canadian!!!! There are so few left.

Being forever an optimist, I cannot believe that Canadians will be the timid mice that we are made out to be by the left-leaning press and the CBC. Adults who use the word “scared” should really have the vote removed from them for being under age. They should not be allowed to roam free in case they get lost, hear something that undermines their pathetic self-esteem or stub their little toes - poor dears. A suitable punishment would be to remove Toronto Star, Justin Trudeau and CBC privileges for a month and make them talk to NCC members to see what the world is really like.

I hope this will be the mandate for the Conservatives to swing the pendulum back toward personal responsibility and related privileges and away from political correctness, rights and freedoms. Freedom to vote and free speech are a must, but freedom to do whatever you want to (or do nothing) at the expense of others is NOT what made Canada one of the best Nations in the world.

The NDP are the losers as many left wing voters strategically get behind the Liberals. Their shift is not enough to put the Liberals over the top but many ridings become very close two way races between Conservatives and Liberals. The real result is the NDP lose ground. The Green Party gets 8% of the popular vote and no seats. A lost opportunity for them as their leader (even with a deal with the Liberals) loses her chance.

Dion (due to his failure to secure the government) begins to feel the knives come out as party members start pushing for their favored candidate to run. He will not last 18 months.

May’s poor choice of where to run gets allot of grumbling within the Party but not enough to take her down. Party members revel in their success with inclusion in the national debates and the increased popular vote with resultant cash increase.

Layton ’s strong performance in the campaign saves him any leadership threat even though he delivers fewer seats. His party membership forgives him for the seat count because they understand why the election got away from them.

Duceppe sits safely on the heals of another well performed campaign. He will be the Bloc leader in the next election….but that will be his last. He will then take his Canadian pension and fade into the sunset.

Harper will be safe for three reasons: due to the seat increase, due to his strong leadership style and most importantly due to the lack of any heir apparent or aspiring leadership hopeful on the rise.

Canada is the real loser as Harper has no party to work with. He faces a house full of left wing parties.

The Liberals believe they will win next time and will only make the house function until their new leader is in place.

Duceppe gets some supreme satisfaction in the disfunctional House. He also knows his 40% Quebec support will always come through for him.

Layton continues to live in his world of delusions - that the NDP will one day form government and that his voodoo economics will one day catch on.

And what of Canada?

Well, Canada morns as the economy twists in the wind.

I would not be able to predict the numbers as people are swayed by such superfical issues such as getting something for nothing, which of course there is no such thing or some pie in the sky unrealistic ideal.

I certainly hope the Concervatives win with a majority so this country can move forward in these hard times with at least some honesty and integrity

To a degree, it does not matter who is elected because it seems to me that the beaurocats with their big departments, big salaries, big bonues, big benifits and unionism, actually dictate all the regulations and cause the high taxes that are driving business from Canada and especially Ontario.

Until this changes drastically, we will be on a steady economic decline.

L.G:
You have more friends “out east” in the cheering section than you realize. Unfortunately, your friends here are outnumbered by nanny-statists who want you to pay their taxes. Your symbiotic relationship with Newfoundland is particularly ironic since its fearless premier wants his “subjects” to vote against your provinces’ common interests.

Son of NEP if your worst fears materialize? Only in Canada!

I think the memory of the brown envelopes and Shawinigate is still too fresh and his insistence on the carbon tax will return Dion to the back benches. For many of our urban die hards, to vote anything but Liberal is just not acceptable, we must understand these things. The NDP will do well in areas where the unions still contemplate a world which no longer exists. Finally, most of the people who I talk to in Quebec are just fed up with the Bloc and their pretense with being the only effective voice for Quebec in Ottawa.

Bill M. says this election was unwanted by the mass public. I hope the political parties take note and start allowing legislation put forward by the government to proceed. That is what triggered this election - GRIDLOCK in the House. If Stephane continues to abstain at least we can get some business done. Most of the business proposed by the government was unacceptable to the far left opposition for various reasons from political to ideological. Of course the government gets PR for passing practical legislation while the opposition gets nothing for agreeing. No wonder that minority governments find it hard to govern. Yet in the blogs and on-line opinion forums urge a “STOP HARPER” vote when most pre-election polls showed Harper to be the most capable leader. It proves that electioneering can change the minds of the undecideds. I guess that is why we need 5 weeks to have an election campaign. If the parties wind up in a similar position I hope the Parties work to make governing possible or we will go back to the 1960’s when we had 6 years of minority governments under Diefenbaker and Pearson. Enough already with the sniping and bickering. We have no one like Trudeau on the horizon so it is either get along or get out!

Congratulations to all Canadians who have waited long to place their votes bringing forth Stephen Harper, and, a New Canada filled with joy and once again a real Canada.

This election is a complete waste of time and money.

I will first clarify this with “this is *NOT* what I want to see” but what I expect.

Conservatives - 118
Liberals - 101
NDP - 36
BQ - 51
Other - 2

I just have this sinking feeling that the Conservatives will need the help of the BQ to get anything done and that Canada will vote emotionally on their fear (again). Remember Winston Churchill “We have nothing to fear but fear itself.”

The Conservatives are wearing Toronto Maple Leaf/sports blue, rather fitting, since they seem to have that ability to snatch a (minority) “defeat” from the jaws of (majority) victory.

I believe voter turn-out or lack thereof will be a factor - tending to favour the Conservatives. Also, the split vote on the left may produce some surprising results - again slightly favouring Conservatives.

I think that everyone is underestimating the Liberals (to my chagrin). It looks like the fear factor is being brought out again. Last time it was the hidden agenda and now it is “Stop Harper” he can’t be trusted. No problem trusting Chretien to wreaked havoc on this country for 12 years (EH101 ‘copter, Long Gun Registry, HRDC, Shawinigate, Ad-Scam). Beofre that Trudeau brought out Wage-Price controls, NEP, more than 18 cents/liter gasoline tax. The worst Harper is being accused of is running a dictatorship, income trusts and being untrustworthy in general. My assessment is that the media have been getting even with Stephen for being less than accessible. Stephen is the author of his own undoing even if he is the best leader for the country. He and his advisors need to look at their PR policy and win the media as his friends and allies instead of what they have done to alienate the media over the past 3 years. I predict the liberals will gain more seats than they currently have while the Bloc will decrease slightly with the overall position of all the parties unchanged. Watch out if the combined Liberal-NDP positions exceeds the Conservative total which raises the specter of a left coalition. Then again maybe not because if the “green shift’ is implemented Canadians will get the message in the pocketbook. I don’t see the climate change crowd lobbying in China where the GHG emissions exceeds Canada’s by 50:1. We are going to have another election in 2 years so I would like to find out once and for all if Stephen Harper is trustworthy or not. No politician leave an indelible mark and we ill recover if Stephen flunks the opportunity just like Diefenkaker did 50 years ago. The country will survive. I am tired of hearing doomsday whether it be political or environmental. I hope he gets a decent shot at running the country.

Congratulations to Chelsea Aboud for winning the NCC Election Prediction contest. Chelsea was the only individual to correctly predict the number of COnservative seats.

To Albert van der Heide I’ve read your comment about my father and his friend Willy Arseneault and I’m puzzled. In their name your support exactly what they were fighting. Please associate their name with freedom, not your political agenda.

His son who was at his wake today, and will be also tomorrow and on Saturday.

To Albert van der Heide.
I have also read your comment about my father and his buddy Willy Arseneault and like my young brother Daniel-Aimé I am puzzled. Willy Arseneault died fighting exactly what you support. How dare can you associate my father’s and Willy Arseneault’s names with an extreme right organisation? My father have teached us to fight organisation like the National Citizen Coalition because they are against the well-being of all Human Being. He always told us to make sure that our action will not come to harm to anybody. This is why he could not stand organisation like the Liberal Party of Canada, The Conservative Party of Canada, The Reform Party and the National Citizen Coalition. Our freedom can not exist if it harm the freedom of others.
I was beside my father when he died and I was beside him today as I will be tomorrow and Saturday with my familly and people from Zwolle that came to say a last farewell for a hero that fighted for freedom.
