We seem to be on the verge of yet ANOTHER unwanted federal election in Canada! Virtually no one in the general public wants it, but the party politicians are playing their usual games of musical chairs. So.....our local Conservative Party member here in Simcoe Country is spouting bullshit about how we should vote Conservative to stop the evils of "socialism" from threatening!

He's appealing to his usual dumbass constituency, those who are stupid enough to respond to that sort of thing...despite the fact that their pensions, their health care, their roads, their schools, their municipal works, their libraries, their police, their fire department, their utilities, and a huge number of other things they want, love, and absolutely can't do without are provided by.....................socialism!

Idiots.

I know Bruce Stanton (the Conservative party member) and he doesn't strike me as a stupid man, so I presume he's simply saying whatever the Conservative party machine thinks will scare people off voting for the other parties and keep him in office. Surely he can't believe it???? No, I don't think he's that stupid by any means.

The average demographic around here is an older age group of rural and small town White English Canadians that is fairly (or considerably) well off financially...and that is exactly where the Conservative Party draws its strength in this country. It's the Old Guard. They live in the past and are terrified of the hordes of immigrants and other have-nots whom they envision clambering at the gates...

You can get a blind dog or a drunken gorilla elected in this town...just as long as he's a Conservative Party member. ;-) (not that I'm suggesting anything about Bruce Stanton...like I said, he's an okay guy, he's just batting for a bad team, that's all).
