Reply #2: I'll be voting for him.

Well, more accurately, I'll be voting NDP.

I'm trying to spread the word around; frankly, Harper is taking credit for stuff that he would have killed if he could have. He tried to change our banking system to the US system; he couldn't, because he didn't have a majority. He once compared our banking system to the 'worst of Northern European socialist banking.' But we survived the Big Crash in relatively stable and safe condition. NOW, of course, he's taking credit for the stable banking and econmic systems.

But the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan alone have made him minority leader, and that's frustrating. Two thirds of the country leans left; that one-third that lean to the right can swing the whole thing the wrong way. By the way, it's actually not the West that swings the thing right; British Columbia is a mostly left province too. As in the US, the centre of the country is the right.
