Attn: Harper, Layton & Ducepe
I highly doubt that you guys take the time to read this, but I think the first move that any of you do on the election trail should be to give every Canadian citizen 120 million reasons why you needed to call an election at this time. That's one reason for each tax dollar that will be spent on your grandstanding and I think its only fair don't you?

Enjoyed some conversation with a pair of Americans and a Dutchman at a backpacker's hostel a few weeks ago (you would have enjoyed it). One of the Americans was absolutely crestfallen when I told him Harper had won.
"Y-you mean there's no more Paul Martin? He's gone?" he asked, "I can't believe it."
He was of the opinion that Canada represented everything good that America was now doing so wrong. I took some time to burst his bubble with an M1-Abram (or I would if Canada was willing to afford one of those).
Basically told him that most liberals in Canada feared Stevie was going to turn our home and native land into a big ol' Texas, you know, changing the national anthem to "YEE-HAW!", BBQ joints serving up deep-fried homo, and talk shows replaced with bug-eyed televangelists.
Actually I didn't really say all that. It was a very serious conversation.
Anyways, I think we need to give Harper some room to breathe. Media is so biased, they take every little thing he does and try to subtly smear it one way or another. Who cares if this guy or that gal got the job that should have gone to someone more "experienced", whatever that means. Whoever he chooses, let them have a go at it, prove their worth before you tear them apart in the papers with headlines like, "OMGROFL HARPER'S FIRST WEEK OF DOOM". If they fail, well, a leader lives and dies by the company he keeps. Funnily enough, this rule doesn't apply to the country directly south of our border. One of the big differences I guess.
