What the hell Canada....

[Zageron]

Conservative?

Holy ****!

Oh and also, check out the unfairness of this.


Green Party | NO SEATS | 925,825 Votes | 6.8%
Independent | 2 Seats | 89,207 Votes | 0.7%
Bloc Québécois | 49 Seats | 1,369,350 Votes | 10.0%

Green has more than 10 times the number of votes that Independent has, no seats.
Green has only 400,000 votes less than that 'Quebec is better than the rest of Canada' party thing, yet BLOC has 49 seats....

Canada is officially retarded.

Edit:

For USA ppl.

Canada is split into about 308 separate voting areas. Each area, or constituency, has representatives for different parties. (Liberal, Conservative, Green, NDP. Do a google search on them.) So everyone in each constituency votes for the representative of their choice. The winner gets a seat in the House of Commons.

If a party gets over 155 seats then they receive title of Majority government, which means they basically have full power over the government, any less and it's all equal grounds for everyone. (Mind you the more seats you have the better).

The winning party is the party with the most seats.
The leader of the winning party becomes the prime minister.

What's wrong with Conservatives Zageron?

also,

Green has only 400,000 votes less than that 'Quebec is better than the rest of Canada' party thing, yet BLOC has 49 seats....

Canada is officially retarded.

An example, it may only require 1,000 votes to beat the other parties for a seat in one riding. Whereas 6,000 may be needed in another. All BLOC has to do is get votes where it matters, to get a seat with a small amount of votes.

I'm not saying there is anything wrong with conservatives, but at least Liberal started going a bit green.
Besides the point, IMO Canada has become the United Provinces of America (no offence to you Americans, just your government for the past 8 years), we need to gain back our 'the best place to live' title. :\

Also, updates first post. I think I got it all right.

Edit:

And I think all this Bull**** advertising that's been going on is stupid as hell.
Parties shouldn't attack each other, they should play fair. (Yes I know Liberal started it, but they don't need to go all out about it.) The commercials on TV were ridicules.

Edit 2:

Also the conservative website makes them look like ***holes.

Re: What the hell Canada....

So I take it the rest of Canada doesn't like Quebec? Because I'm never hearing anything positive about Quebecians.

Also please explain the Canadian government in a nutshell for me, for I am an American, and here in America we tend not to go into the politics of other countries education-wise. But we sure as hell love to stick our noses into things.

Edit: Nevermind on the nutshell description, I see zageron edited his first post for all us unenlightened Americans.

Re: What the hell Canada....

Canada's never been called that. It's always been "That place above America".

All parties are guilty of it. I saw a website recently that was trying to bring down Harper by associating him with George Bush.

Forget about the mudslinging.

Green did nothing of the sort. :\
Like Liz May said "Less bloodbath, more democracy."

Also, I don't hate Quebec nor their people. I just think they are a little to selfish. :/

Edit: Wish I could stay and talk more. I just wanted to rant, and then sleep.

Night FFR.

Re: What the hell Canada....

Fact: no one cares about the Canadian elections but Canadians.

Suggestion: whoever you elect better invade a country...then maybe people would care about Canada.

Suggestion #2: dissolve your government and become a part of the United States.

Suggestion #3: grow some balls and invade America.

ps nobody cares about the environment and it's certainly not something you should be basing your vote on

Wow...that was just plain stupid. Maybe were MORE PEACEFUL. CANADIANS ARE PEACEFUL. Why would we go to war for pointless humor? Maybe it's a good thing they don't target Canada!

And Every Country needs a Government/President. Not everyone can be apart of the know-it-all Amercians.

And why would we Invade Amercia. The stock will just go down further for the US. The USA/Canada Alliance is a good thing, we are both good traders of resources. Become enemies and it'll be bad. Most of the Lumber comes from Canada, and the fresh water. All you guys have are concrete jungles.

So blah. Stuck up Amercians.
