If Texas suddenly overwhelmingly elected the leader of a leftist political party with socialist roots into governer's mansion.

If he can flip Texas, please give him the nomination already!

talking about the upcoming election in Canada. I know sometimes, depending on the number of recs an OP gets, it appears on the Greatest, etc, and some don't realize where the OP is located which is why I am wondering about your post.

It has gone from Texas North to California left and it is absolutely wonderful!

He does have appeal to those who would rather not be bothered by facts. I think it's wearing thin with some conservatives though.

I've nearly convinced my brother to go NDP. He's someone who has been staunchly conservative his whole life. He despises the secrecy and the election shenanigans.

My dad, who was a big Harper fan, is disgusted, especially with the whole Duffy thing. I'm trying to work on him but since the whole NDP win here, he refuses to talk politics with me (he's likely scared he'll have to hear gloating. Like any conservative, he can dish it out but he can't take it).

Yes, Canada is worse off than it was when Harper first came in. Let's hope after the election we will be well on our way to reversing the damage.

Others outside of Canada can see this, I fervently hope the majority of Canadian voters do as well and turf Harper and the "Harper Government" out on their sorry asses in a defeat as resounding as was done to the Conservatives after Mulroney, from majority government to 5 seats.
