Desperate times need desperate measures

Have to agree with you there.

It's what the country voted for. Similar to Wynne's destructive policies at the provincial level.
It's too bad a basic intelligence test wasn't required for voting.

What? Canadians want to withdraw from defense alliances,abrogate our responsibilities against terrorism,allow our economy to collapse from high deficits and runaway spending and taxation? Do you believe we should withdraw into our own borders and re-assume "backwater" status a like we had under previous Liberal governments? I doubt Canadians bargained for that nonsense,but really,they should have known better. It wasn't that they weren't warned. It's too late to b^&*h,now.

Based on the last election, yes, that's what Canadians want.

I have a fair number of acquaintances of the liberal persuasion that don't see these things as 'big picture problems' and are pretty happy with the way things are going. If you have a PS pension, none of this is a big deal. It's a Greek attitude, and it works well...until it quits working.

Yeah, you and your red Toronto friends sure can pick em .
Mel Lastman
Rob Ford
Daffy Dalton
Wind bag Wynne

Not sure I'd broadcast that too much G . The odd are, based on previous track records, you've picked another winner.

Not sure how you continue to ignore so much. Including TOs voting prowess.

On the more serious side (aka above is half tongue in cheek)

Reality is, he's looking like the fool at best over this. Our allies are none too happy. See also the optics of bailing on this, very soft towards them, visits to mosque and ducking grieving moms, all on the same day. See "love will save the world".....and yet selling arms to the Saudis, who.......you think other world leaders don't see these things and wonder just wtf.....

There will be fallout and consequences.

Will there ever! All those other countries have very long memories. Unless he reverses himself real quick,it's likely going to come back to bite us in the arse. It won't take too long,either.

Majority? You should know better than that? Unfortunately, our system doesn't offer any alternative? I believe the libtards got in with about 39.5% of the popular vote? Certainly no majority!

[JBen]

It's funny, not long ago many on the left would cry that Harper only had 39.8%....Most Canadians don't want him they'd say. Now, they continually trot out "the majority of Canadians" want the boy blunder.

Lets not also forget that a lot of the votes the Libs got were protest votes...anyone but Harper. I imagine there are a lot of people who voted Liberal, who are just as concerned or pissed about this.

I imagine a lot of Quebecers are following this weekend...We know France is.
