Oh my fellow Canadians… we have had an interesting week, haven’t we? I found myself alternating between excitement over my country actually being represented by a majority (contrary to what one might assume by our Conservative leadership, we actually voted 63% or so in favor of political parties from the left) and anxiety because if a coalition government was not stalled, the overwhelming majority of idiots in my particular province (the lovely Alberta) might truly end up trying to forge ahead with this western separatism bullshit. Alas, Prime Minister Steve Harper ran like a baby to our Governor General and got Parliament prorogued – i.e. shut down – for a couple of months, hoping that the parties he’s been pissing on ever since he won a minority government will start wimping out again.
How dare I call my fellow anti-Coalition Albertans stupid? Well, perhaps some quotes from one of their groups on Facebook to illustrate:
“Canada has never had a civil war. But if they threaten this nations constitution and democracy then that certainly warrants action.”
“How about just nuking Quebec, we would then have a majority Conservative government, and we wouldn’t have to deal with the retarted bilingualism crap. plus we could still Hire Newfies to do all our crap work, like we already do.”
