Canadian Politics: Not so boring, actually.

God, you're thick. Manufacturing has nothing to do with how many ridings Ontario has. You yourself said we don't change our opinions very quickly in four years, so a 2004 poll should still bear weight with you, if not our very recent election in which 62% of Canadians voted for either a middle or left party. The Bloc Quebecois hasn't drastically changed in two years. And why do you say we should get rid of the monarchy and also say "Her Majesty's English Canada"?

Saya, without antagonizing you, I think you're the thick one....Case in point: News flash: its 2009, Yeah, that's right happy new year! (you still hung over? )...that would make it 5 years...An arguing device I like to use to see who's "das Sharpen" when it comes to the economy...And you missed it....

Since you were born in 1987 AND live in NFLD, I'd like to know just HOW Manufacturing has NOTHING to do with how many ridings Ontario has (a province that I was BORN in AND lived ALL my life-wayyyy older than you) and in which YOU did NOT live in for any discernible time??

Most Europeans settled in Ontario and Quebec after WW2; that would logically make Ontario and Quebec the political "hub" of Canada n'est_ce pas? The greatest concentration of people in Canada after WW2 was in Ontario and Quebec - Alberta was -believe it or not -still Terra incognito- and thus didn't need as many ridings, after all who the hell would vote for an official in the middle of nowhere? Now, with the auto makers, and every other manufacturers, Ontario and Quebec enjoyed a "golden age" of manufacturing jobs - you know the average johnny-lunch-pail types...But as soon as energy stocks climbed all of a sudden (for the first time since WW2) it's no longer Ontario/Quebec, but Alberta and the west that's generating the economic growth...Markets are volatile...no one can predict them. Thus, all those seats in eastern Canada all of a sudden have no weight anymore -or if they do it becomes very disparate... for a short time there was a mass exodus of people out of the east to go West for greener pastures...It is the nature of the changing economy...From here on out NO ONE knows what going to happen....That my fellow Canadian, is the truly frightening thing for BOTH of us - Capitalist and Socialist....

Uhhh... I don't think the high price of gas - or its fall, for that matter - has anything to with the government. It had to do with the price of oil.

I don't support the separation of Quebec, but I do support many of the Bloc's other policies.

Is that arguing device the use of propagandist name-calling, assinine ideas and non-sensical statements to try to confuse your opponent?

What does living in Newfoundland and being born in 1987 have to do with one's grasp of how the Canadian electoral system works?
Ridings are largely based on population, gramps. That's why Ontario has so many more; we have about half of Canada's population.

You are a self-contradicting idiot. I see little tiny bits of fact in there, but you twist it so much that you just end up looking like a fool...
