Is this the general thought?

Cloudy, rained for three hours, cold, flooded fields, wheels may never turn.
This area of country is ruined by water.
What huge contrasts between us!

"No Joy in MUDVILLE"

I respect both your comments, hopefully mine is respected as well. In my opinion the majority was a fluke. Generally people were satisfied with a conservative minority saving decision for a majority when steve was replaced as well as iggy and jack. But when jack's popularity took off and the best the liberal leaders offerred was to parade chretien and martin around jack took off even more. People like myself at the centre of the spectrum vote liberal or conservative if the party is mostly at centre, we also vote for a certain canditate but more recently less and less for candidate because candidates have very little say, look what happenned in quebec. Quebecers certainly did not vote for the candidate that was in vegas, they voted because they hate stevie.

I am not stuck in vote this or that because i always did, i would like to see us actually for once vote for something instead of voting against the rest. I can't stand chretien and mulroney as much as anyone else.

This restructuring of votes all took place in what about 10 days, that wasn't long enough for the population to figure out the implications of their vote so this resulted, coupled with the massive money used to buy off certain ridings, in my opinion improperly used g8 money etc.

If the reform stays in control we will see the 51st state result where the us will control us by way of controling our oil and our politics.

If the centre conservatives take over the party possibly centre liberals will stay the course could be as i have said best govwernment in a long time. Jack will fall apart, i just found out today they even have a former communist elected as an ndp mp, unless my info was wrong. That shows how much steve and the reform is hated outside of the prairies.

But get rid of cwb, i want it, expect it, change the ag programs to be less intrusive and administratively bizarre and more effective, these were a factor of why i voted conservative in past. Reform does not believe in any assistance so it will be interesting if the reform will respond to this situation or the conservatives.

I think quebec went for Jack because they have found by being on the opposite side, the federal government gives them more.

Do I think harper is disliked in quebec? No, but strategically it was better to go with the ndp. They were sick of duceppe and I think you can thank harper for that.

You have to look at positives, Canada is now run by federalist parties. And the threat of separatism is on the back burners for a while which in itself makes us a more stable country.

It is a day to honor Mothers. Something we all have in common and the reason for our successes in life (or at least in my case). My Mother always taught me patience, preparedness and the ability to accept what I couldn't change. She faced many challenges in life and lead by example.

Jeez you sound like a whiney little baby rider.

If you are so scared of being taken over by reformers from 15 years ago and having the country turned into another state then get your ass out there and run for office!

It is obvious just how smart you are and there are obviously tens of thousands of people who think just like you and will follow your logic to take this country where you think it needs to go.

What's that? Don't have the balls to run for public office? Well how about you at least start a blog so we can know who you are and maybe all join in on discussions as to how evil "Stevie" is.

You seem to believe whole heartedly that "Stevie" was in contempt of the last parliament for several things, so now that we have a new parliament, I am going to have the new committees (which will now be a majority of conservatives rather than the other 3 losers by the way) reconvene on the contempt and bev oda thing ( did you know bev oda was reelected in a huge landslide?) to see what this parliament thinks of those hearings. What do you suppose will come out? Maybe that will show how utterly stupid a minority parliament can be. Nothing can get done if the losing parties have no interest in the best interests of the country.

So go get em tiger, run for office or start your own blog to slag Stevie for the next 4 1/2 years of a majority government.

Thanks silverback for confirming what 60% of the population is thinking, with the majority in parlaiment things like changing legal documents which is fraud is okey by our majority, things like contempt of parlaiment is okey by this majority. Thank you keep posting as i said we will see the cost of the jets cost of jails funding for health care whose gonna be taxed more and who less. The G8 thing i think there will have to be something legal happen outside of parlaiment are you denying g8 money built the shithouse?

I am not crying at all read the post, if conservatives at centre run the party we could have good government, and that is great what else could we want right now? but why are you and tom so mad at my posts? its because you are not at centre yet stevie and you guys say he's gonna govern at centre who is lieing you or stevie? You don't have to answer because time will reveal the truth and not your answer.

[riders2010]

And by the way silverback answer the question is there going to be meaningful compensation and not this 18 dollar bullshit for unseeded or seeded and destroyed crops?

[riders2010]

Oh and by the way also, as far as running if you reformers run and do as you want to do, myself or any other hick maybe even a barmaid from smalltown sask. or even a communist could run against you leave for vegas during the next election and kick your righty tighty ass out where it belongs! lol lol

[furrowtickler]

riders, take a breath, it is all going to be O.K. in Ottowa. But for sure you guys under water need some serious questions answered within the next 15 days. I hope the best for all but unfortunately hope and time are running out.

[riders2010]

no problem furrow, thanks for the concern. I am not the one flusterred, in the long run this election may be just what was needed. Just saying from the view of 60% of the people unless the centre takes a hold look out.

But that's least of my worries, we are in deep shit here, and really no voice at all now in this majority! As silver said above they are just gonna do what they want to do.

You guys getting this rain today?

[mustardman]

rider I agree with your concerns on the majority.
I think there should have been a warning label on the Conservative campaign signs. "May contain Nuts"
LOL
Its not the conservatives but the reform nuts that will Screw this country up.

[silverback]

Did you know rider that 70% of canada voted against the ndp this time?

Did you know rider that 81% of canada voted against the liberals this time?

Did you know rider that 94% of canada voted against the bloc this time?

Did you know rider that 96% of canada voted against the green party this time?

Unless those 4 parties were somehow a formal coalition, it is just wrong to say that 60% voted for them. They all had their own platforms and kinda had some policies. Unless we are going to a 2 party system you cannot say that the 60 % is somehow more legitimate than the 40%.

How much of the popular vote did Ralph get? 46.1% ! I guess that means that 53.9 % of the riding wants him out then hey? Does that mean his seat doesn't count?

How about the rest of Sask? The liberals only got 8.6% of the votes cast in the province, that is down from 14.2 % last time.

I guess that means that 91.4% want the liberals out!

You can cut the liberal and ndp talking points anytime, we are going to have a good 4 1/2 years of stability, and hopefully an end to the opposition dreaming up a new scandal every second day. I know the biggest problem was either whether harper ate the communion wafer, or whether or not the long census should be mandatory, or maybe whether a cabinet minister is able to decide who should get free grant money or "not".

I lived through the dry 80's around Regina, that was murder. May 1981, the fields blew like you never saw after we plowed down every acre except 180 acres of Laird Lentils the previous year. I said, I'd never curse the clouds again. Its very hard to stay positive. After the blowing stopped in 81, we grew a very valuable crop. Saved our sraca.

I feel so bad for those of you who are so wet, let's hope and pray the weather will smarten up. It can change so fast. Its only beginning of May.

[riders2010]

lol lol lol wtf? ahahahahahahahh!!!! Mustard did you say MAY contain nuts?
