This coming election could be the crossroads for Canada and it's independence. I don't have to tell you that Stephan Harper would be another Bush poodle and he would drastically change the face of Canada socially, economically, and politically. Not in a good way mind you. Though I am not a Canadian citizen, I have always liked Canada and am sincerely concerned your country could be forced into some kind of "Anschluss" by the U.S. Neocons. Your country could even become a bigger terrorist target if a Prime Minister Harper bends to the will of Bush.
I can only hope that the Liberals and the NDP will form a coalition. However, I doubt that this will happen. I can also tell you that having Harper as PM could even revive Quebec's separatist ambitions. Would Quebeckers tolerate a union between an U.S. and Canada? Not likely!
Please, Canada. Do what is right for your country. Keep Harper out of 24 Sussex Drive. Keep Bush out of Canadian politics and your own lives.
