Conservatives everywhere...

So the Conservatives are still in power at the federal level. The conservative-pretending-to-be-a-liberal just won a solid majority at the provincial level. Bob Rae has stepped down from the leadership race for the federal Liberals, leaving the conservative-pretenting-to-be-a-liberal Ignatieff to take the leadership.

My politics are definitely not conservative. While I am not thrilled with having a conservative government in power, I am willing to deal with it until the next election.

OTOH, it would be nice if we had an actual CHOICE come the next election. Is that too much to ask?

I know how you feel, our last election we didn't have much of a choice either.

When it comes down to provincial politics here in Quebec, the choices are never that great. At least the Quebec Liberals/Conservatives want to work for making the best province with in Canada. They are also acting like statesmen. unlike the federal parties.

The PQ are trying to make a third world country, where there will be the upper ruling class (politicians & corps)/ the middle working class( The average french speaking Jacque) and the unmentionables ( the english that can't move out)

ADQ who?!

But I'm not biter.
HRH.

At least the pretending-to-liberal numbers came at the expense of the not-even-pretending party, not the actual-liberal party.

And hey, my riding elected QS! So that's something!

(I didn't vote for him - I voted Green.)

Maybe it's a little too much to ask...

Jean Caisse de 24 would like to console you by letting you know that we might be going back to a Two-Horse Race for next Election so at least, we are streamlining your choice between Evil vs. Evil... :o)
