Liked it so much I'm makin' a Post of it ...

Why is there this perception that an election will bring a Harper majority?

It only exists because the Liberals don't have many substantive differences with the CONS.
They're two peas in a pod on Afghanistan. They're united on the SPP. They're united on missile defence. Dion dithered on Kyoto, while Harper is bought, paid-for, and deluded on it. The end results for the eco-system are the same.

The Liberal Party, of all parties, ought not to be terrified of the electorate. The Canadian people don't like the Harper agenda and it would be easy to demolish them but for the sad fact that, aside from some important social/moral issues, the Liberals HAVE THE SAME AGENDA.

The long and the short of it is that you can be a gay, married couple of federalists, living in Quebec, you'll have your social equality and a united Canada, but if you vote Liberal, you'll get to be unemployed and homeless and harassed by some FBI database of subversives by US forces on Canadian soil.

The NDP has good social/federalist credentials. T'would be a treat were the Liberal Party to simply die and stop muddying the waters.

We have a close relative here in the DLC, though without the overt popularity of your Liberal Party. The DLC claims Bill Clinton among their clientele, and Hillary has certainly done very little to distance herself from their basic platform.( Her now unwarmongering stance notwithstanding; Sorry Hil...Gen'l Dynamics doesn't back Dirty Fuckin' Hippies.)
