The Election Is Over

Right - the election is over and some things never change, but there is good news and bad news!

The good news is that Canada has a majority Government that can hopefully get some work done.

In that regard I encourage PM Harper to really analyze the results and finally realize that the conservative party will never get support from Quebec no matter how much you suck up. Jumpin' Jack went in and told them everything they wanted to hear and received their support. Heck, some of their candidates were on vacation, and most of them are still wet behind the ears. It doesn't matter that none of it made sense. Please Mr Harper just do what is best for all of Canada. Try it for a couple of years while you don't have to worry about opposition. The opposition will be a gong show in itself with all of the new "vacationing" NDP representatives. Jumpin' Jack will be too busy apologizing for his members' stupid comments and trying to explain sovereignty within Canada to be much of a threat against passing good and needed legislation.

Many have suggested that the good news from the election result is that Quebec has finally seen the light and voted for a Federalist Party. NOT - Anyone who truly believes that Quebec has seen the light is truly delusional, and I have some wonderful land in the Florida's Swamp that I would like you to see. Old cliche - Yes but so too is the Quebec Issue. Quebec laws bear witness to their non-acceptance of Canadian membership. Everything they do has to be different from the rest of Canada, and they truly DO NOT WANT THE SAME TREATMENT. Try to understand?!

When I was in marketing for a large international company, we would conduct annual meetings to map the marketing strategy for Canada. After everything was complete, and members were starting to look forward to returning home to their families, the Quecbec contingent would always interrupt with:
"Now what do we do for Quebec"?

They expect to be treated differently...and better than the rest. If Canada were a family, Quebec would be the spoiled child.

Anyway, Stephen, don't worry about them - let Jumpin' Jack take care of them!

We in the west think we should be able to live and work without worrying who is going to be coming after our hard earned money.
