Those foreign votes are, really adding up. We all know, Harper will use every underhanded tactic in the book, to cheat to win this election, as he did the last election.<br /><br />If this is true? Look at the perks the Engineers from India have? Ashakiran Immigration Services. Electrical and Electronic Engineers. Canada is calling, under the *FEDERAL* scheme.<br />jobs.monsterindia.com<br />More ethnic votes for Harper.<br /><br />we also know, how much of Canada's resources and resource jobs, Harper has been handing China. There is also this.<br />Canadian Dehua International. A former Chinese Government Official Oct 18/2012<br />thetyee.ca<br />There are 413,000 Chinese in just Vancouver alone. 45,000 more want in. So there are thousands and thousands of Chinese votes for Harper.<br /><br />There are of course, the Jewish votes. Ukrainian votes. And, Harper just gave Poland, the BC ship building contract.<br /><br />Harper still has time, to give more of Canada away, to gain even more ethnic votes.<br /><br />Jason Kenny out and out blatantly lied about, his TFW scam.<br /><br />A fellow I know is an, Electronic Engineering Technologist, Bachelor of Science degree, Electronic Engineer. He and several others were laid off their resource jobs. This guy applied to many resource jobs and other jobs. Doing a courtesy call to a HR person, for a resource job? She said, she had over 4,000 applications, for just that one job posting.<br /><br />How does Kenny compute that to, a shortage of labor in Canada? Shortage of labor in Canada, my @$$. Kenny is cheating Canadians out of their resource jobs and many other jobs besides.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35117130.post-86505789932775960272014-07-26T13:06:16.863-04:002014-07-26T13:06:16.863-04:00I share your hope, Lorne.

There is a larger group that votes Conservative because they don't know what else to do. The latter group recognizes the meanness of Harper and his henchmen and the ugliness of their policies. When these people look around they cannot find a viable alternative. The "red Tory" option no longer exists. Even the old Reform Party, which did have principles, is gone. Neither the Liberals nor the NDP are offering a different vision for Canada. All that the opposition is offering is trust us, were nice. The Greens have a good understanding of what is wrong but appear to be non-viable. My bet is that most, if not all, who voted Conservative last time will do so again.

Our national psyche cannot endure another four years of Dear Leader's depraved indifference to everything but his own abiding obsessions with power and control.lornehttp://www.politicsanditsdiscontents.blogspot.canoreply@blogger.com
