knew this was coming soon.

Yep. The appearance of this was predictable, and if I'm not mistaken, right on schedule...

Sort of like boot camp. By the time it was over we were laughing about all the things that had given us such grief in the early part. I grew up on a Farmall Super C. Now I have a '41 A, a '48 M and a '62 Oliver 550 (same as a Super 55 except newer). But the Oliver isn't running. Yet.

If this doesn't encourage Canadians to vote Conservative, nothing will. However, it is hard to see Ontario adjusting to a Conservative government.

When you are right, you are right. Unquestionably, 'tis better a house without a father than no house at all.

This proposal won't pass because when they are sober enough to think about it, it means polygamists from the fundamentalist Mormon sects (such as the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) must likewise be legalized. When you allow them legal status we will see these groups move to Canada en masse.

And everyone know Mormons are most politically conservative of almost every group in the US (the more mainstream Mormon church has its members mainly in Utah. In the 2004 US presidential election, Bush got more than 70% of votes in Utah as a whole). If each and every one of the 37,000 move north to Canada and each "family" has 25+ children, it will mean BC instantaneously goes Conservative and it won't take more than 40 years for even Toronto to turn Red had they decided to resettle in GTA. This will probably send shivers down every Canadian "moderates"/msinstreamers/leftists' spine.
