Conservatives Fail to Secure Majority
So, despite all the terrible things the Conservatives have attempted during their reign, like stamping on our freedoms, cutting funding to important health and art programs, and trying to sell us out to corporations, a bunch of Canadians decided to ignore these terrible things and vote for them anyway. Did these people just choose to ignore all that like it never happened? They forgot all of the terrible things Harper said about Canadian citizens, and all of the fascist bills they tried to pass? I suppose Canada has more rich people than we realized, trying to get more money at any cost. Sigh… greed will likely destroy us all.
Perhaps it’s because we had the worst voter turnout in history. Chances are the people who didn’t vote are the ones who would have voted for the more liberal parties. The reason for this is a ton of people, including me, weren’t aware that we needed photo ID as well as proof of our current address. I drove home and got a utility bill but most of them just went home. Also, students living on campus weren’t told that they needed to get some form from their colleges, because the address on their voting form was generally that of their parents. So thanks to Elections Canada, the win was pretty much handed to the Conservatives. I’m certain of this because like, come on, there’s gotta be way more liberal, freedom loving individuals out there than there are rich, white, christian old men(owned). Or maybe many Canadians pay no attention whatsoever to what goes on in politics and base their votes on the campaign ads they hear on their local top 40 radio station. All I can say is I’m baffled.
But as terrified as I am of the Conservatives, at least they didn’t get their majority. I can breathe a sigh of relief and hope that the Liberals and the NDP don’t allow them to pass anything stupid.
What soulless, evil shenanigans will Harper and his buddies be up to this term? I will be documenting them on this website. Canada is watching.
