I didn't get the sense that Kerry lost because the Democrats were too far to the left and had too many Hollywood stars in their camp. Of course you can look at the election in all different ways, but to me it was because Kerry ran a crap campaign. He wanted to be all things to all people. Ex: I voted for the war, but now I'm against it. He was also slow to respond to the Republican attacks like the swiftboat ads which were crap. How long did he take, almost a week to make a comeback, by that time he was burnt toast. It was typical of a lot of Democratic campaigns lately where they just came out looking soft.
I feel like gun toting hicks have the abilility to fuck up North America as a whole.
Not one riding was Conservative in Vancouver, Montreal or Toronto. I think that speaks volumes about the closed mindedness of hicks, or openmindedness of city folks... although I am sure it is way more complicated than that (maybe all the gay people and visable minorities just move to citys so that they don't have to deal with the politics of small town closed minded white people with a strong right wing adjenda).
Overall, Bad for Canada, but not nearly as bad as it could have been.
yes, it is more complicated. it's dangerous and counter-productive to cut it off at "they're closed-minded and we're open-minded"...it's just not that simple. rural interests and realities are very different from those of cities'.
i don't know about Vancouver and Montreal, but the strongest showing of East Indian, West Indian and Asian candidates were in Toronto suburbs (Brampton, Mississauga, Scarborough, etc.)...the immigrant dream is not to stay in the city and hang with FOBs and dykes. did you see all the Sikhs repping the Conservatives?
lotsa brown folks are down with the Conservative platform, and if they weren't so hung up on other people's sex lives, there would probably be a lot more queers in the Conservative camp, too.
You both have interesting points
But did you see the conservative votes in rural Quebec and even Quebec City and buroughs????!!!!
Big slap to the BLOC Still had that classic bloc answer (and i like the bloc) "The rest of Canada has shown its colours and we have shown ours" Look at the stats man
pc: Yeah, it was something that didn't make a lot of sense to me... aside from the fact that if we are gonna get down to hick stsreotyping/joking.... I think that it is a leftist slant to back a sepratist party, although the bloc party itself is quite rightwing in its adjenda, which might be why people that normally would vote bloc have voted conservative in this election. Quite strange. Danno, you got some insight here?

Let me assure you there is very much a board hierarchy. Silvertone is somewhere near the top and you're at the very bottom. As such he can tell you to do whatever he wants. In about a week one of the Montreal strutters will come to your apartment and induct you into the forum properly. The hazing sucks but we've all be through it. Afterwards you'll be entitled to abuse graemlins.
That being said, I'm just fine with the elections. The liberals have become scummy and this time-out will give the time to regroup under new and, one hopes, capable leadership. Meanwhile the conservatives will be kept in check by their week minority from screwing up the country.
