You will see an increased interest in "wedge issues" like same-sex marriage and abortion, as well as increased funding to Canadian affiliates of Focus on the Family and other fundie-fuckwad organizations. You will hear more from the Canadian Council of Chief Executives (basically a fascist RW think-tank) and others regarding further watering down Canadian anti-trust laws ALREADY watered down by Mulroney Tories in the late '80s early '90s, etc.
It's going to be a very dirty election - I still don't know who to vote for: The current crop of incumbent criminals (Lieberals), the corporatist fascists-in-waiting (CPC), or the over-compensatory LW NDP...It would be a bit easier if I didn't know for certain that whichever party gets into power will immediately become the corporatist party - politicians these days are just mouthpieces for corporations and rubber stamps for corporate interests...The Lieberals were not always this corporate or corrupt - I am really missing the days of REAL politicians like Pearson and Diefenbaker...all we have left are wet noodles like Harper, Martin and Layton - PATHETIC.
Still - it looks like the safest bet is going to be a CPC-NDP coalition government, with the left-wing NDP attempting to balance the right-wing CPC...to what extent this is an EQUAL partnership depends entirely on Layton's ability to get MORE NDP MPs elected...
And yes, we still use pencils and paper...
