Some excellent legislation can be passed with a minority government IF the
silly little boys and girls THINK about what they are doing and what is
best for the whole not their own interest or political bias.

Perhaps, but if we want big business out of the political arena what other
choices do we have?

And he sold us out (NAFTA), a one way trade agreement in favour of the
states, screwed up Health Care,  screwed up public housing,and more if we
look deep enough.

  >Canadians want responsible government.

We always wanted that, but we got power hungry imbeciles.

My take on Politicians:

Poly = many
Tics = parasite
Politics =  many parasites

RM> That's only a viable 'choice' though if you KNOW what everyone is
RM> planning to do to/for you once they get in...

Get re-elected that is the primary objective.

Hope this helps.  Keep us posted.

We are a fine board trying to make it better.
