Obama campaign connection?
Right now, Canada’s Conservatives govern as a minority party, but Prime Minister Stephen Harper thinks he can change that.
Why the early election date?
Harper, known to many in the Great White North as “Canada’s George Bush,” thinks his party’s odds will be better with a snap election now rather than waiting until after the U.S. November election, especially worrying that an Obama surge would migrate north to help Canada’s Liberals.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
