Just like good little canadian boys and girls

[yellowperil]

We had a major political election and nothing changed, just the way we like it. Except someone threw rocks at the Prime Minister (literally)

[sc_rufctr]

I'm glad it worked out OK... But Rock throwing is not cool.

[yellowperil]

Right, not cool!

[sc_rufctr]

That's a nice way of saying horrible...

Gravel, to be more specific. Rocks could have hurt someone.

He was eventually charged, but not at the time he did it.

I so upset, I can’t understand why people voted for a party who’s boss is an absolute clown, busted for unethical behaviour 3 times and treats women like crap?!

So.....It was you who threw those rocks

[stealthn]

No, as a good little Canadian I just quietly stew, and go out and kick my polar bear.

That's a better idea, anyway.

Ever occur to you that perhaps the USA's Democrat party isn't alone in knowing how to rig an election?

Do you know anything about the process in Canada?

The electorate seldom votes in a new government. The tendency is to vote out a government of which they have tired.
Right now the voting public seems to have decided to retain the status quo.
I was surprised by the outcome because I was hearing the complaints of a very vocal group. I guess their message was not embraced by all.

Ever occur to you that even though you don’t like them, some policies/people have support of more than 50% of the electorate?

We will probably have another election soon.
Wonder of the cost of a Canadian election?
Over 600 million CAD or 50 bucks stateside.
Maybe Justin will call another one next week?

OTTAWA—After calling an early election, as is his kingly right, Justin Trudeau appears to have narrowly carried enough votes in yesterday's election to secure another term as Sultan of Canada.

"Bring my camel, bring my scimitar!" laughed Trudeau as he carefully applied blackface. "I told everyone the genie had guaranteed a win! Oh man, this never gets old. We're having a massive victory party tonight, I'm bringing in some elephants, belly dancers, my entire harem, the whole shebang. Or the whole he-bang...or, um, people-bang. Nevermind."

Canadians again handed more votes to the rival Conservative party, but it turns out elections in Canada are actually determined by Tim Horton's and no one knows if votes even count. The election is expected to change nothing politically, making it a bit silly to begin with, kind of like Canada.

Here's some PARF for an already PARFY thread...

Nothing really changes.

That's why people voted for The Don. Even with his many flaws he gave "Joe and Martha" hope.
