Unfortunately, intelligent and rational Canadians are going to be stuck with the choice of two evils. The lesser evil of having yankee doodle dandy and republican wannabe Sweaters Harper as our P.M. He is bullying despot who plays dirty politics and brought down his own government. Not to mention his hypocrisy. This is the same person who teamed up with the Bloc and NDP to bring down a Liberal government.

However, he does have a background in economics. Maybe he can actually take some of that education and knowledge and fiscal principle and apply it to government. He failed miserably in his first term as P.M., spending money like it was going out of style. Maybe someone will give him an old Econ 201 or 203 textbook and he can learn about how the world of macroeconomics works.

Yet, having Harper as P.M. is much better than the other evil to consider. The NDP having any say in our nation's financial affairs. This is a party that has bankrupted every province they governed in. It amazes me how a party that fails time after time after time can even get one vote. Well, they get lots of votes from unions. Unions who care only about themselves. Unions will sooner bankrupt companies and the government then actually acknowledge that they are an overpaid pseudo-mafia organization. If you ever wanna see were our tax dollars go, just look at how big of a percentage our government dollars go towards strictly union wages. They monopolize and then go on strike whenever they feel they are "not getting enough". I'll never understand why this country doesn't break the monopolistic unions, once and for all.

In the end, if this coalition gov't comes to fruition, the blame will lie on the bully. And then maybe, just maybe, a new party will be created in Canada. One that actually makes sense. That party being one that is fiscally conservative and socially liberal. It's about time intelligent and educated people get a party they can vote for. Kind of like the Liberals in the 90's. That's how you run government. Except it could be so much better.
