Mooh BS: Views from Canada (164* d) RE: BS: Views from Canada 21 Oct 15


Absolutely delighted that Harper is history. Can't fathom who would vote for his party and what it stands for.

Not so sure about Trudeau as PM but no matter he's certain to be leagues better than Harper.

Had hoped for an NDP majority or at least official opposition. Very disappointed that they got so few seats.

I understand what happened. The Cons voted in droves in an act of paranoid self-preservation of their bigoted hatred and ignorant and extremely narrow social, national, and world view. The Liberals smelled blood in the water and voted in droves in a sense of renewed hope and optimism, aided by a large percentage of (otherwise) NDP supporters who were afraid that the Cons might survive for another term, and anything but conservative (ABC) had become a rallying cry. The collateral damage was a thrashing of the NDP which lost many very very good parliamentarians. As for the Block, I'm surprised they're still living the dream (or fantasy) and now that their leader lost his own seat, it questions the viability of the party, again. The Greens, god bless their idealistic souls, kept their leader's seat and she's a wonderful parliamentarian who I hope will be consulted by the ruling party often on matters green.

As I understand it from folks kind of "in the know", the new PM is already being pestered by pleas to undo the Harper damage. I hope he heeds those pleas, but it will take years to do the repairs.

Peace, Mooh.
