Oh Canada!

Today, the whole parliment was voted out of office due to a no confidence vote. Is it time for Canadian's to stand up and voice your opinion about the socialists and liberals running your country? Now is the time!

Maybe they'd be better off with our system.

After all, we've got the best politicians money can buy.

What really bothers me is that not one of those criminals will EVER be charged for all the fraudulent actions they have done.
Billions of dollars embezzled going back many years.
Now they are telling everyone that theres a bunch of money being put into different programs...I never got asked if this was ok...never got consulted if it was ok to spend my tax dollars and drive the country further into debt.

Tell me how we can change it when the candidates in line are no better?

Just to keep it straight.....the whole parliment wasn't voted out of office .

A no confidence vote against the Liberals by the rest of the members of parliment forces the Prime Minister to call an election. This "no confidence vote" can only happen when there is a minority government.

After Canadians vote in January, some members will stay, some go, but to have every member voted out is almost impossible.

Come on Canuks... Stand Up And Be Heard! Get on the phone, write letters, send e-mails, organize local groups to make yourself heard!
Never give up! ..... NEVER! .........NEVER!

You have an opportunity to start a grassroots effort to effect your countries future! For God's sake at least try!

We organize local groups and write letters just to get a speed limit reduced on our road! Get involved!

I know it's not easy, nothing worthwhile ever is. You have got to at least let your elected officals know where YOU stand and what you want changed.

"It is the task of the rising generation of Canadians to create a new confidence and a new sense of cultural and civic duty in Canada. Unless we achieve some success on this front, and I believe we are beginning to do so, the very real attractions of the vigorous society to the South of us may attract too many of our able people. Then the human resources and skills required to shape and direct a complex industrial economy will simply not be available to us in Canada."

Or maybe you can petition the US federal government for willful annexation?

No Thanks.

Better the problems we have, than the problems we don't need.
