Canadian Federal Election - 2015

[T.G.G. Moogly]

It looks like the Liberals will need a miracle to pull off a majority government.

So . . . have you decided which church you'll start attending yet?

Yes, the Church of the Anti-Miracle.

We don't really do miracles up here in Canada. The closest we got to religion in the campaign was being afraid of niqab-wearing axe murderers showing up to slaughter innocent civilians at citizenship ceremonies and when Harper quietly grumbled "God bless Canada" as he slunk off the stage after losing.

I learned about Harper's awful band from Oliver. I wonder if he'll write a song about this?

 

[arkirk]

Ya, what's next? Electing a former leader's wife?

It already happened in South America.

It all depends... Is it a BLUES band?

I guess this proves Harper isn't wrong about everything.

Well, on his first day on the job, my new Liberal MP did drive a group of niqab-wearing barbarians over to my neighbourhood where they burned everything down. My first reaction was to get angry but then I remembered that Harper warned me multiple times that this specific thing would happen, so I realized that it was pretty much my own fault and I couldn't go around blaming other people.

Normally I would have made some quip about the winners of elections having far less impact on your life than a million other things you could do yourself, but this does seem to be pretty direct and immediate.

Never fear, we inclusionist 'mericans are refitting Louis Black's white queer van for ax wielding women wearing nijabs. All you have to do is suggest appropriate neighborhoods.

I had a longer response to this post, but I'm busy taking out a second mortgage on my house in order to pay for all the tax increases that Trudeau forced upon me in order to pay for his program to destroy my freedom and everything that Canada stands for.

Donuts and beer?

I fucking hope so.

That's just gross.

It is now.

Canadian fries are required by law to have gravy and cheese curds!!

 

[Jimmy Higgins]

Hannity was beside himself over the results. He said Canada did so fine through '08 because of Harper.

Only in the Eastern Provinces.

My wife is American but lived in Ontario from age 2 to age 30.
Her mother is American.
Her father is Canadian.
Her sister is American
Her brother is Canadian.

I say yeah Harper is gone!
My wife agrees but she's American.

Total aesthetic hegemony - Butterflies and Wheels

So now North America is wholly ruled by Absurdly Gorgeous Men.

I feel as if I should be indignant about this, because what does Absurdly Gorgeous have to do with governing or administration? Nothing. (Diplomacy though? Different story? In which case maybe not nothing at all to do with governing? Persuasion is a necessary skill in governing, and charisma is part of persuasion. We ugly people are not useful in that way, fairness or no fairness.)

Maybe I’ll be indignant about it next week or sometime, but right now I’m just amused.
