Changes in the Great White North

Alerted by one of my northern cousins about the election results in Alberta it looks like Harper is toast in October. It could not happen to a more deserving guy.

Alberta has been to the right ever since it existed and they just gave the Province to the NDP (think Bernie Saunders) led by a woman.

That's awesome!

However, Alberta may have been right by Canadian standards but I just can't imagine any place with a health care system like Canada being right wing by American standards.

Really? Well there goes the neighbourhood then, Harper was nowt but a George Bush hand puppet. His Reform party was originally from Alberta so I would not lay any bets just yet. If they don't throw that heartless bastard to the wolves it will be bad for the country.

My cousin from Tibet called and said DJ totally made up his cousin from Ontario.

It looks to me like the conservatives are toast unless the NDP goes nuts and makes a coalition with the Liberals impossible.

And that is not the former Conservative party, a bunch of the more fruitcake ones merged with the Reform Party and adopted the Conservative name.
