Those Who Don't Learn From History....

....Are Doomed to Repeat it.

Say hello to American North everyone. According to all accounts this is the last day Canada won't be ruled by a regressive, ultra far right party. It's times like these that I'm torn, on the one hand I feel terrible for all the minorities who are about to have to endure endless persecution. And at the same time I also have a feeling that Canadians will get the government they deserve tonight. It's like Harry Truman once said: "How many times do you have to get hit on the head before you figure out who's hittin you?"

It just shows that Canadians, like their American counterparts, are easily fooled. I, like most Canadians, always thought we were smarter than our neighbors to the South; but how can that be true if all a horrible man like Harper has to do to get elected is hijack a party, steal their name, and shut up all of the people who actually know what he's going to do?

It also makes me wonder why we as Liberals keep bothering to clean up Canada if the Canadian people are just going to let these idiots in so they can destroy it again. Isn't the definition of insanity doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result?

A lot of the ways the Conservatives will destroy Canada in the months and *gulp* possibly years ahead we'll be able to fix, but stuff like fixed election dates, and decentralization we probably won't be able to fix.

I just hope the PQ doesn't win the next Quebec Referendum, if it does you can kiss Canada goodbye, with this ultra weak Federal government the Harper regime will institute we won't have a prayer of fighting them off.

So Canada, you have one last chance today to avoid making the mistakes your American counterparts made in 2000, and your own countrymen made in 1984. I hope you take it, but somehow I feel you won't. This is one of those times I'd love to be proven wrong.
