Of course I am what... ?! Haha. I'm a bit confused.
When I did live in Canada, Stephen Harper was the P.M. and my family happens to be conservative (Republican) so yeah. We're very happy to know hes won, and everything will be alright.

i'd rather have Jack layton and the NDP win. he seems to have alot of the good ideas and its about time the NDP squeezed itself into 24 sussex drive. i believe the conservative slogan for 2005 was "Stand up for canada". My interpreation of this slogan was this: "Stand up for canada, and replace 1 lousy party, with another."

and this will be the last question i will ask in this thread. why does quebec say they owns the churchill falls, and therefore all energy revenues should go to them?

"everything will be alright"
How so?
The economy is slowing down
were doing nothing about global warming
we extended our stay in Kandahar
were treating teen offenders to young to drink, vote or drive as adults in court
he scrapped the national daycare plan
and he canceled all the naval ships that were the corner stone of both elections
arctic sovereignty and what-not
the list goes on

Stephane Dion
would have been far superior
