Now, Canadian politics have changed since October, and I don't know who I'd support. If the Conservatives can nominate someone from their more libertarian wing as leader, then that's cool shit.

eh you dooker, you dun e'en be a citizen. go bug the aussies more eh?
Nah jk. I agree, but I doubt the Conservatives can find someone presentable to the public, especially after Harper. I wouldn't mind a sort of populist, "Wildrose" style conservative appearing, but we Canucks don't tend to be the types that trust populists too much.

Hmm, well what can I say? Sometimes populism can be a good thing, or at least be evident of some internal anger. But I like to think most Canadians aren't as uptight as Americans - this can be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on the status of things.

Well, what is it that Canadians are angry about, if anything?

Glad to hear, though as I understand, this will be Canada's largest weapons deal so far, so its still rather sizeable, even as a one-off. And that makes sense by the Liberals, I am more expressing dismay at it ever being conducted in the first place - though my own nation has a far worse track record on arms shipments to Saudi Arabia.
