Also, I have never said "aboot" in my life, every time I say about, some American starts laughing and claims I said aboot, which I haven't.

I like Canada. Once they give Harper the boot things will be better, but overall a good country.

Wait, Canada has politics? Great.. Thanks.. Now you've spoiled my Utopia-Like Image of our Northern Neighbors

I agree with you wholeheartedly on the Harper thing Kirby... Here's hoping for a vote of non confidence woot!

I don't follow politics much, I keep tabs on it, but that's about it. But, Harper is just a puppet, so the sooner he's out the better

get rid of harper .... An who would do a better job ? the seperatisits who want to break apart canada ? That absolute bafoon, layton ? Harpers the lesser of evils you could choose from .

I have to respectfully disagree on that Kateria. Harper is a moral majority fundamentalist ruled by the oil companies (think Canada's version of Bush). If anyone is better than him, which in my opinion they're all corrupt, it would be Ignatieff the new Liberal Leader. If they had had him for the Liberal Leadership for the election campaign, I don't think Harper would have gotten so close to a majority government in the first place. Stephan Dion was and is a boob, and is the main reason so many Liberals split their vote and voted NDP instead.

As for the seperatists, realistically they are the old guard in Quebec now, and if a referendum was to go ahead, I doubt very much they would vote as a province to seperate. Especially given the recession, and how much of the National Debt Quebec owns. Essentially its Harper's own fault, when you have a minority government you need to play nice with the other kids in the sandbox, and the LAST thing you do is threaten to take away their corporate funding for election campaigns. If he had a Majority government there was nothing they could do, but he doesn't and he made a very foolish mistake. One that he will likely pay for by having his government dissolved.
