It was on this day one year ago that Canadian voters went to the polls and voted out those idiots that had been running Canada for over twelve years.

I didn't vote for him. To assume that "Canadian Browncoats" would make such a ludicrous decision to vote for that moron is insulting. And in actuality, only aprox. 36% of Canadians voted for him.

For that matter, the only reason why the Conservatives won, is that people were pissed at the Liberals at the time and the Conservatives successfully convinced the people of Canada that a change was needed.

Quote:

The problem is that change is only good if the change is for the better. But, the perception was that someone else should be given a chance. Please note that the people didn't even look at what we'd be changing to. They just went with the other major party. Yes, Canadians can be stupid too.

But, let's go over his "successful" reign.

- He's failed to implement anything even close to actual accountability. At least not for his own party. This was an election promise.

The bill was passed in the Canadian House of Commons on June 22, 2006, and was granted royal assent on December 12, 2006.

- He's failed to implement anything even close to his election promise of 5% renewable fuel sources.

- He's failed to implement anything close to the environmental promises we made by signing onto Kyoto. And by what his "plan" is, he's effectively removed us from the protocol. Something most (approx 70% according to the wikipedia) Canadians want.

- He's failed to do anything remotely good for national child daycare. The Liberals had a decent plan, but there wasn't enough time to implement it.

The Conservatives implemented plan is actually counter productive. It gives the most money to households earning > $100,000 where the least amount of money goes toward the people that actually need it (read: poor people). This money also comes in the form of a cheque. Problem with this is that for the most part, poor people don't know who to deal with money. So, wasted money.

- He's failed to engage the national (and local) media instituting an effective media blackout because journalists here won't put up with the bullshit of having to sign a list with the intended question asked. Yes, thats' right, our journalists actually have integrity. Similar things happen with requests to the PO.

---

- He's failed the public by not allowing his MP's to speak to journalists.

- He's failed the Canadian people by starting to push for a privatized health care system.

- He's failed to acknowledge the separation of church and state by starting to do this BS of "god bless Canada".

- He's failed Canada with the "resolution" of the softwood dispute by accepting a "solution" that effectively screwed us.

In April 2006, The United States and Canada announced that they had reached a tentative settlement to end the current dispute. Under the preliminary terms, the United States would lift duties provided lumber prices continue to stay above a certain range. Below the specified range, a mixed export tax/quota regime would be implemented on imports of Canadian lumber. As a part of the deal, more than $5 billion in duty deposits collected would be returned.

- He's failed the Canadian people by starting to try to get DMCA like law into Canada which basically removes fair use rights.

In fact, the only thing that they actually have done is to constantly criticize the Liberals. Not to mention that almost all of that criticism is pretty much sophistry. I imagine that they do this as a diversion tactic so people don't realize that they suck as a government. At least, not as much.

They are an embarrassment. To give us congrats for doing this to ourselves is insulting.
