So, if there is a Canadian election, and the conservatives win

[HEyHEY]

Where are all the American defectors going to flee?

[lenidog]

1. Ireland, no extradition treaty with them

[HEyHEY]

2. Will you head over there in Coffin ships?

[lenidog]

4. Its not the greatest choice but they do speak English which is probably

why everyone heads to Canada rather than Mexico. I mean donw in Mexico they give a damn and I would doubt they would ever waste the manpower looking for everyone.

9. New Zealand has no extradition treaty

Also a no nuke zone and plenty of sheep....for what its worth.

3. Don't worry.

The most right-wing Canadian politician is probably just barely to the left of John McCain.

[Telly Savalas]

5. After a month of watching the campaigns...

I think most Canadians will remember why they didn't vote for the Alliance last June so it's a very hypthetical question.

[HEyHEY]

6. I hope they at least wait a good amount of time becuse BC is in

Election mode right now, and last thing I need is two freakin' elections at once

[Telly Savalas]

7. I thought I heard on the news...

that Harper doesn't wanna pull the trigger this week, but next week might see a writ dropping. Of course there were several months of rumours about election calls before the last one actually happened. Also I heard reports of polls that suggested that a huge majority of Canadians don't want to see an election now.

[HEyHEY]

8. It's now or never if they want to win I think

[enigmatic]

11. yep.

And this is the best chance they've had since I moved up here in 2001. It's going to be close, but whoever wins is going to have to rule by coalition anyway, so I think it won't be a disaster unless the CPC pulls a majority government out the hat...

[carpetbagger]

10. Canada.

Harper's no more conservative than Bill Clinton was, even if you make assumptions about what he'll do once in office.

[enigmatic]

12. Harper's to the right of Clinton...

No question; his problem is that he has the personality of Perry Como on quaaludes...
