Faced with their growing unpopularity, Canadian Prime Minister, Control Freak in Chief, and seller-out of Canada’s sovereignty to Chinese oil interests Stephen Harper and his party, the Conservatives, are pinning their re-election hopes on a “give cash back to voters” strategy.
The bad news is that it’ll work, for the same reasons as those observed by Rick Mercer about Rob Ford’s fan base:
“We would rather have a guy on crack than a mayor who will raise our taxes. We don’t care if he drives his Escalade drunk through the city; we care that he wants to privatize garbage collection. We will vote for a gerbil if we get a dollar back.”
In case you missed it, here’s the Rick’s Rant on Ford Nation:
How did I not know about the Joe Pesci Home Alone yule log stream until now?…
I’m enjoying exotic-to-me American cuisine (being Asian, I had a mashed-potato-deprived childhood) at Christmas dinner…
As the lyrics say, all is supposed to be merry and bright during the holidays,…
It’s not just another Sunday, but the Sunday leading up to Christmas! It’s that time…
Here’s wishing Alex Bruesewitz a speedy recovery — yes, he’s behind a racist lie that endangers…

I read somewhere how Harper looked like Sponge Bob Square Pants, and it's stuck with me since, thinking, "yeah... he kinda does".
Regarding the Gerbil voters, raise taxes / don't raise taxes, it's hard for a plebe like me to know better, when the media puts out crack news instead of the mayor's actual record, any facts about the budget (maybe we do need tax increases, I don't know) or what real work is/isn't happening in city hall. I'm tired of the crack news, can't I get any actual info on which to base thoughts and opinions?
