Election Time!

It is election time here in See Ay Enn Ay Dee Ay, and like anyone else that gives a flying fuck I feel like I will have underlying anxiety (possibly followed by a bout of depression, depending) until the damn polls are in. Mainly because Harper cannot get in again. It just cannot happen. I refuse. Straight up.

What is baffling me is the kind of people who support Harper. No, not the whackadoodle Christians or the business owners (although unless you're the CEO of a bank, he really hasn't done much to help you. At all. Not even a little. Probably not a fucking bit. Actually, he probably sleep raped you.) The entire thing reminds me of a Patton Oswalt bit where he talks about Bush supporters:


Like this one chick I found on a networking site who responded to a poll that asked "Which candidate is the most trustworthy?" Answering "Harper, obvs!!" And maybe she was being sarcastic, but I highly doubt it.

So I decided to look at her page, to see if she was some crazy religious zealot or some rich white chick.

No. No no. She was a vaguely ethnic looking, maybe native, maybe not, I'm not into eugenics. A raver (what the fuck, they still exist??), and "bisexual" who also described herself as "homoromantic" whatever the fuck that means. Watching the sunset while peeping two old fags go at it at the beach? That's what it brings to my mind. She also likes recreational drugs. And luckily for us she's not old enough to vote.

Anyway, my first thought was, "WOW. HARPER FUCKING HATES YOU!" How the hell can someone consider another human being that thinks homosexuality is the sin to tarnish all other sins, who doesn't know the difference between First Nations and East Indian, who doesn't give a fuck about women and children, who could give two shits about the general population's health, who probably can't even spell "environment", who doesn't care if you have a job, or if there's money in Employment Insurance to make sure you don't starve when you can't find work, who wants to throw anyone that's ever smelled pot smoke in jail, and who doesn't care about anything besides his wallet and some supa kewl fighter jets—PEW PEW!!!!— to be trustworthy? HOW? WHAT ABOUT THAT SAYS TRUSTWORTHY??? Trustworthy of what? Always being a completely unaccountable sack of shit?? Maybe he wants the fighter jets so he can get closer to his super cool sky man faster? Because he believes the end is nigh and that Sky Man will come to save him (but not women, and definitely not gays) Zzzzzzoooom!

Hysterical rant aside, there's one ad that pisses me off to no extent, moreso than all the bullshit we've had to (well, took lying down, really) put up with for 8 years, or whatever, I don't know. You know the one where the average Canadian mom (some Aryan looking lady) is sitting at her coffee table, trying to balance the family budget, saying Harper's tax cuts have made it so much easier to balance the family budget? And then worrying that Layton and Ignatieff don't know where they're going to get the money to make all these promises, except to tax us more??

That ad makes my Goddamn head explode. Seriously? WHERE DO YOU THINK THE MONEY FOR ANY KIND OF SOCIAL SERVICE HAS EVER COME FROM?!?!??!?!?!?! Whatever tax breaks Harper has given you have to be offset by the amount of shit you have to pay for yourself now. Like if you're a single mother, you have to find child care on your own. If you're an ethnic minority group, a lot of your Governmental funded support groups have had to shut down. If you're poor, and have to use services like the food bank or the Salvation Army, donations have dwindled because we are in a recession. If people have anything right now, they are holding on to it for dear life, and they're sure as hell not giving it to some dirty, poor darkies. That's what happens when there's a recession. All of that volunteering people can afford to do? They can't anymore. All of those donations people make? Can't afford them anymore. If we don't have a social welfare system to fall back on in dire cases, we're fucked.  Just like now.

So for the love of God, Sky Man, Pot, Nature, Jobs, Women, Minorities, the Elderly, Double Rainbows, Education, Health, Peace, Freedom vote for ANYONE BUT YOUR CONSERVATIVE CONSTITUENT. Just not the Christian Heritage Party. Because that's a whole new level of scary. Let's not go there right now. Oi.
