We’re the legitimate government, dammit!
I probably shouldn’t slag so much on Canada’s liberal party–I mean, they did manage somehow to stay in power for 13 years during pretty much all of the 90’s and the first half of this decade. But when messaging from that side of the fence gets that blatantly… well, self-destructive, or maybe just suicidal, it’s really hard to see how anything else can be said. Down by 13 points in the polls, and still holding onto a fantasy, Ignatieff and the liberals still have themselves convinced they’re in the best position to govern. Neverminding that we still have absolutely no idea on policies from that wing of Canada’s parliament, still have no idea what really sets Ignatieff apart from Stephen Harper–well, other than the fact they sit on opposite sides of the house and one of them is always screaming for an election, and oh yeah, there’s whisperings of possible defections in the ranks. It’s entirely possible I’m just on something really good I don’t remember taking, but it looks entirely like Canada’s government is going in the exact opposite direction that Ignatieff and the liberals think it is–or should be. On second thought, maybe I’m not the one who’s been into the happy drugs.
