2015 Canadian Election

CBC "forecasting" Liberal Government

[Napkiraly]

Yeah. It's even more stupid when you consider just how much of the Arctic is actually under our control. You'd think they'd let up a bit due to Russian aggression.

That's one thing I'll give Harper credit for, asserting our Arctic sovereignty.

Except that, without those icebreakers he keeps promising, there really isn't much was can do to assert that sovereignty.

Ice breakers + amphibious assault ship + nukie subs = Canada overrunning Russia and engaging in Canuckification.

[Nation of Quebec]

CBC is projecting a Liberal government.

[Camicon]

I think it's a bit out of their latest episode, which should have aired tonight. Not entirely sure though.

Oh yeah, on the PC not telly. I'm sure it was good, eh.

George: "Hey, Henry, who are you voting for?"
Henry: "I'm not voting."
G: "How can you say that!? Who are you voting for Jackson?"
Jaskson: "Labour."
G: "What!? Why!? Having three parties in the House would be a disaster!"
H & J: "Why?"
G: "Because nothing would ever get done!"
J: "Maybe they could compromise."
G & H: "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

[MERIZoC]

CBC predicting Trudeau will be next PM.

[Kelinfort]

Trudeau's gonna get a majority at this rate.

[Liriena]

Wow, that's a lot of red in the eastern shores.

Say, just how "liberal" in the "pinko/commie" scale is the Liberal Party?

[Canadian Davsland]

CBC has been projected to be the next govt!

[The Travelling Salesman]

Look how evil and violent Trudeau is, training his kids to use lightsabers.

[Planita]

CBC projects a Liberal Government!

[Ithra]

The Liberals are going crazy at their HQ

[Ithra]

Look how evil and violent Trudeau is, training his kids to use lightsabers.

Let's not forget one of them is using a SITH Lightsaber

[Napkiraly]

It might be too early, but it's not surprising either.

We're back baby.

[Camicon]

Wow, that's a lot of red in the eastern shores.

Say, just how "liberal" in the "pinko/commie" scale is the Liberal Party?

On the American pinko-commie scale? Or on an accurate pinko-commie scale?

Red alert on the former, not at all on the latter.

[Ithra]

Well the NDP seems to still have a pulse, barely

[Oneracon]

You realize that Harper's plan was the same as Obama's, right? The Economic Action Plan was government spending out of an economic slowdown... because that's what economics says: When the private side of the economy shrinks, the government side needs to grow to ensure the economy doesn't collapse.

As for this "balanced budget" fallacy, a balanced budget really means a stagnant economy. You can't grow without controlled spending.

Absolute nonsense.

Without support for innovation the economy can't grow, and the majority of that support comes from government.

"Also, it is government spending and the programs that spend all that money that tend to create the largest distortions in the free market."

I don't see a problem here.

[Kelinfort]

Long ago, the parties worked together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Conservatives attacked. Only Trudeau, master of politics could stop them, but when Canada needed him most, he died. Ten years have passed and my brother and I have discovered the new Trudeau, a man named Justin and while rhetorical skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he can stop Harper. But I believe Trudeau can save Canada...

Now that he's won, time for the animated series:

Trudeau: The Last Votebender.

[Geilinor]

Harper must be regretting the "he's just not ready" ads now.

[Napkiraly]

Oh yeah, on the PC not telly. I'm sure it was good, eh.

George: "Hey, Henry, who are you voting for?"
Henry: "I'm not voting."
G: "How can you say that!? Who are you voting for Jackson?"

H & J: "Why?"

G & H: "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Glorious.

That's just because you're a dirty Commie that wants to take away all of our freedoms *Nods*

[Liriena]

Eh, good enough for me.

Just keep M. Night the fuck away.

[Atealia]

Well Prairies are going Conservative, No surprise there.

[Ontorisa]

Well the NDP seems to still have a pulse, barely

AND THEN, OH MY GOD, THE TERRITORIES AND MULCAIR'S POINTLESS CAMPAIGNING HAVE PAID OFF AS HE MANAGES TO SNAG ALL OF THE SEATS IN THE WEST! NDP HAS FORMED THE NEXT CANADIAN GOVERNMENT!

The libertarian argument is that the free market is perfect.
