Praeothmin 532 Posted May 3, 2011 Canada's elections are finally over, and I am super duper happy to say the stupid, worthless Bloc Québécois has been kicked in the nuts and lost all but 4 of their seats... Unfortunately, the Conservative Party of Canada is now a majority Government, which means free reigns to do what they want, when they want it, and how they want it. Once again, I need to tell the other parties' leaders (or ex-Leaders for Duceppe and Ignatieff): Bravo, dumbasses! We spent 300 million dollars (now worth 315 million US dollars) on elections no one wanted, and we finally get through the elections with the worse scenario possible... Wow, Canada finally gets the chance to become a mini USA and get reviled on an international level for our new warmongering practices... Hurray... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
enigma 521 Posted May 3, 2011 Yet the Tories might end up shooting themselves in the foot by 2015 if they screw up governing the country. They haven't formed a majority since 1988, so Canadians are tentatively giving them a chance. This way, Harper cannot blame anyone but himself if things go wrong by next election.

enigma 521 Posted May 3, 2011 I thought they already were a mini USA Actually despite similarities, we're quite the opposite. U.S. is a right wing nation and Canada is left wing. Even the Conservative Party (closest to the Canadian version of the Republican Party) is more left wing than the Democrats. Plus Canada has universal healthcare and the U.S. doesn't.

Sam Adams won a beer contest in GERMANY. If anyone knows beer, it's the Germans So do the Belgiums and Netherlands, and some Canadian beers even won prizes in Munich. Here are the Canadian beers who won prizes: Sleeman Unibroue (Blanche de Chambly - It beat "La Blanche de Bruges" as the best wheat beer in the world-, Noire de Chambly, Fin du Monde, Trois-Pistoles, Maudite, Mort Subite, Bolduc, Éphémère) Boréale (blonde, dorée, rousse, cuivrée, blanche, noire) Chanvre Rouge (bière à base de chanvre) Kokanee (British Columbia Beer) Rickard's (Newfoundland Beer) Yeah, you don't know real beer...

Means nothing to me since I hate the taste of almost every type of alcohol except for Margaretto (part ameretto, part high-ball margarita. Tastes like cherry flavoured Pepsi\Coke) .
