*eye twitch* The Canadian people, it's good to see, still have their heads on properly, but this entire governmental idea of full integration into America has me fuming. F*ck big business, I will be forced to take up arms if this ridiculousness continues. Or, I shall move to England or Australia, far away from those business and American bastards. No offence to you citizens, of course. The goverment really should be aware of the polls, especially with the rising surge of Canadian nationalism, and Anti-Americanism, particularly among today's young voters.
Amid the unification and rightward shift of the Conservative and Liberal parties, the NDP should do something more than complain. It's time to unify the left of center political groups. Most of us want a goverment which is concerned with health, education, the environment, the social safety net, and Canadian soverignty, not one dedicated to making the corporate priorites, making the rich richer, and deeper integration with the US. Past experience has shown the NDP will not alone get the mandate to govern the country; but if disaffected politicans of all stripes would join them to form a new Social Democratic Party, we might be able to vote for a government who puts the people first.
Edit - This is why I vote NDP.
I completely agree... although I only just recently became a registered voter, so I can't have voted NDP in the past.
My brain has been swiss cheesed like Scott Bakula's on Quantum Leap
