Cameron's House of Fun

Fatherhood, politics, education, random thoughts (heavy on the random thoughts) and stuff (always stuff).

And now, a bit of politics

Ok, so the CPC government got in, to the extent that they did, in part based on the standard conservative promise that they would be fiscally responsible, prudent etc etc etc. That they would be grown ups etc etc. That they would keep their promises. Esentially that they would be the opposite of the LPC.

They also go in, again in part, because of their support out west. So it is with some amusement that I read this.

So, to review: Senate appointments? Check. Floor crossing? Check. Flip Flops? Check. Hypcritcal, political rationalizations of same? Check.

YAY! THE OUTSIDERS HAVE NOW BEEN ASSIMILATED.

Oh, just so we're all clear, I think that the whole income trust thing is a good decision. You have your company here in Canada, you pay taxes. End of story.

How are they going to manage not having an election soon I don't know.

They want one.

No effective opposition, the Liberals would get wiped out by someone else in Quebec (I don't think there is much traction for more CPC seats in Qc - the first NDP MP from Quebec mb?)

The result would be the same for the CPC (with some movement of seats but about the same number) but with less LPC members.

Garth could run Green and the Bloc would get more seats, as would the NDP.
