No more Harperman!

Good question. I think what's considered Liberal in North America is a whole lot different to Britain & Europe.

We have a party called the Liberal Democrats, which came from a merger between the Liberals & the Social Democrats, but some would argue they don't stand for anything really anymore except hoping to get into power as part of coalitions. The social side of liberalism was stolen by Labour (the Trade Unions balloons backed party) and the economic side by the Tories (the evil bosses backed party), squeezing them out.

Glad to see Trudeau Junior's first act as PM was to tell Obama all the Canadian forces are going back home & he can use someone else's sons & daughters for cannon fodder, especially with some morons in the Canadian military wanting their forces merged with the US ones. Like WTF? - who would you think would end up the first assault wave in EVERY conflict?

SOOOO not looking forward to returning to work tomorrow, especially as I've spent all weekend repairing the computer (again!).



P.S. It's being just reported on the BBC that EVERY seat in the Polish Diet (their Parliament) has been taken by right wingers, because the Poles don't want immigrants in their country.

Have these f**kers ANY sense of irony? Their ambassador to the UK admitted back in February that all that's been keeping them afloat the past five years has been Poles working in the UK but using the same sort of iffy tax scheme (paying Polish tax rates) much beloved by badly run Scottish football clubs & Boots the Chemist, earning the Polish treasury £4 billion a year.

Merkel, get them "telt" - OK Jaroslaw Kaczynski, you don't want to take in immigrants, get out of the EU & see how long you last without it. Canada may not vote for Rhinoceroses, but it seems Poland does vote for Pro-Christmas Turkeys!
