the outcome of the election

[Chaerophon]

Aren't we getting just a little vitriolic here?

Perhaps. Everyone's entitled now and again. If you look at the post in context, it is a little less offensive. It was intended more as a response to those who insist that "outsiders don't know what they're talking about, they just don't like Bush." I do know what I'm talking about, and it's not just about 'not liking Bush' on a personal level. Some are equipped to disagree. That particular poster was/is not. At least not from what I can take from his arguments...

Canada's future looks sunny. Our economy is humming along even with an 18 cent increase in the dollar holding down exports. We're still reporting surpluses, paying down debt, increasing programme spending. What's not to like?

Looking a little bit more in the long term...

When this bubble bursts:

Your country is already dependent on China and Japan just to stay afloat. The EU has a much healthier economic base that is rapidly overtaking your own.

Things probably won't be looking so sunny with 80% of our export base in a deeeep recession.
