President Bush - Page 11

Ya bookie, i'm old enough to be your mother and send you to your room. Probably wouldn't give you any supper either, you bad monkey you.
It really hard not to be bitter when you know your vote doesn't count. That could change one day though.

Spoiled kid, nah, thats just how you see it in your jaded little world.

Your vote does count though, Becks. There are MPs from Alberta in Parliament every day. The Official Opposition hails from your neck of the woods, for the most part. There are even Liberal MPs from Alberta. You are represented. That representation may not be getting you what you want because the needs of all Canadians need to be considered, but you are represented.

Funny, nobody seems to hear what Albertans have to say, I'm lost in the crowd of people who feel the same. Liberals represent what they want, not what the people want. Crying shame. Defend it if you must, we have no voice. Ontario and Quebec run the show.

I will buy you a pacifier for xmas.

The West isn't actually well represented. A majority government can be formed without any seats from West of Ontario so the government basically ignores us. 2 examples:

Toronto whined about a loss of tourism because of SARS when it affected the entire country. They got I think $30 million for a concert. In Western Canada there has been SARS, Mad Cow, Wheat Tarifs, Softwood Lumber Tarifs, Drought and Fires. We have recieved no compensation from the Feds for SARS and the Drought, very little for Mad Cow, <$10 million for lumber, and nothing for the fires.
The West also gets most of Canada's criminals. I live within 30 minutes drive from several prisons, from low to high security. All the highest risk offenders get sent out here and then escape or get early parole.

Maybe now some Easterners will understand that the West doesn't have true representation. I don't expect to have just as many seats in parliament from the West as East because we don't have as many people. Just don't give the East so many seats that they choose the government.

As for our next PM, once the parties take their stand on the issues I think the Liberals are going to lose much of their support.

Since this thread is about Bush, how about some updated views on how the first chimp to make a successful carrier landing is doing his job :

Something wrong with Niverville, Becks? I've been there a couple of times and it seemed like a nice little town...friendly, in that Manitoba way.

Good articles about your erstwhile commander in chief, Buford. Are you guys even having elections anymore or do Rummy and Wolfie just get together in the White House basement with Tom Ridge and count the bribes?
