2015 Canadian Election

[Canadian Davsland]

the PM has annouced Expats will be blocked from voting in this election.

This is predicted to give the tories the victory, and keep Harper in power because of Canada's large number of expats.

Doubt that. if anything, it will solidify the vote against Harper. Plus that is another attempt by Harper to block Canadians rights to vote.

How the heck can he do that? I don;t imagine that will go over very big with the voting public. You have a source for that?

It's another law of theirs that I think we'll see repealed if the Liberals or NDP get into power.

Yeah. The liberals are looking likely to win, and if the NDP join the Liberals in a coalition, the RefCons laws will be finished.

Good.

I doubt that happened. And it will only solidify support against harper and his RefCons.

[Grunberg-Ludbach]

Good.

It's Greed and Death, he makes up these claims for jokes all the time.

People fall for it quite often lol.

True, but these remarks are usually targeted to their radical, and far right base.

[San Lumen]

Most likely. Plus i don;t get why anyone would vote the BQ in Quebec it seems like a wasted vote and a waste of a riding. It's not like they can get anything done for the province as they only run in Quebec. That being said I hope the Liberals get a majority government. Harper needs to go. It would be amazing if he and his whole cabinet lost their seats.

I wasn't aware Canada had a far right.

Fascism in practice creates an autocratic totalitarian regime. Given that Canada is a democracy, and given that the Tories have shown absolutely no interesting in deconsolidating Canada's democracy, they are (objectively speaking) not a fascist party.

On a broader scale, fascist parties seek to overturn the status quo at all level of society. They subscribe to an official ideology which they use to legitimize the way they want to redistribute and use power, and which provides them with a blueprint on how to reshape society after their revolution tears down the old one. There is actually a matter of debate in the field about whether or not a totalitarian state which has concluded it's revolutionary phase, and established itself as the status quo, is actually a totalitarian state any more; however, that is neither here nor there.

Do the Conservatives sound like a party that wish to entirely dismantle Canada's government and Canadian society, and reshape it into their own autocratic totalitarian playground? Is Canada in a state of revolution? Have we ever been?

The answer to all those questions is no. I'd suggest taking some classes on IR theory, so you don't ever lodge your foot so far down your again when discussing this topic.

Actually yes, the Conservatives are doing exactly that to Canada. They are taking away our rights, oppressing the people of Canada, and changing election rules to suit their own needs. But their authoritarian butts are OUT on Oct 19.

You're going to have to find some actual sources to back up your bullshit. And no, your ass does not count as a source.

Would you happen to have a source? I'd like to share such news.

Harper is too left-wing, but he's the best of the bunch.

Would you support Mulcair if he were a socially conservative Catholic?

If he were Pro-life, yes. A Catholic cannot, in good faith, pick anyone else over a Pro-lifer.

Holy shit, you're alive.

I'm less active, but, yes, you could say that.

[Atlanticatia]

So it seems like the Liberals now have a strong, healthy lead...really hope that the Tories don't end up the largest party.

Too left-wing? Well, you would say that.

I hope so too and i don't live in Canada. I know someone who lives in Ottawa though.

Unfortunately we do. Canada is not immune to far right conservatism.

Harper is far right, not left wing.

Depends on which political scale you stick him on. In American politics he'd be centre, maybe centre-left.
