Did you ever notice that it's "The Harper Government", as referred, not "The Conservatives" ?
My final statement on the matter is a quote from an article in The Barrie Examiner
The Harper government is like a brick wall and a train put together, which is headed on a path to destruction; no matter how much you try to work with it, there is no compromise.
It is his bullying ways and no other.
His government makes a mockery of democracy and will ruin the very foundations of our democracy.
So yes, there will be countless elections if Harper gets a minority government, because our Canadian democracy (people) will always stand up for our rights.
God help us, if he gets a majority. Our county will be changed forever into a very scary future for our children and us.
People will truly come to appreciate the words 'freedom' and 'human rights'.
WoW, from a mainstream media source.

Sorry I'm quite proud of my country and would never allow it to become part of the US. Over my dead body. If we become one our quality of life would greatly deminish.
That's for sure. The US would be calling all the shots and we would just be raped of our resources.
I bet we would pay higher gas prices.

Seriously? I'd volunteer to fight with the Canadians to KEEP their country.
Ours is trashed. No sense in screwing up another country.

Absolutely, I do hope we finally have an Epic voter turn-out.. I honestly support my teen (voting for the first time) to read all she can and pick the ones she thinks will do best, and at her high-school they've been discussing the importance of just making it to the poles. People have to realize that every vote does matter, and we can make a difference... even if it's just in small ways
And those who don't vote don't have a right to complain about the government afterwards. At least if 'our guy' doesn't get it, we can honestly say we didn't vote for him! LOL

It would? how?

You mean in the same way as it has been for hundreds of years?
I bet we would pay higher gas prices.
Canadians already pay more than americans for gas.
That's 0 for 3. What else you got?

Again, your fears don't seem to be founded in any concrete understanding of actual proposed legislation. You can continue to speculate about all sorts of worst case scenarios but until you can show that those fears are grounded in something real and not some vague, anti-american hysteria, they wont really be worth debating.
Have a great day.
