Effing Harper


Here in Canaduh-land everyone I know is really pissed about the recent election of Prime Minister Stephen Harper in a majority government.

It’s kind of funny because if everyone is so upset, then who the hell voted for him? Well most of the urban centres didn’t vote for him at least. I think it’s those dodgy folks in the suburbs that don’t care about the environment because they SUV to work perhaps? Maybe they also don’t care about the arts because they get all the arts they need every-night watching the Jay Lenos? Whatever. Everyone is pissed.

It wasn’t a total loss. They are saying Jack Layton’s / The NDP rise in the number of seats they have is perhaps due to the youth vote and social media? so maybe we do have a voice. Too bad everyone else is so shitty but that’s life right?

Anyways, why am I even going on about this, the election was like two weeks ago dude…?

Our pal from Toronto, Digits decided to write a song about Mr Harper:

I have a new song to share with you all! For non-Canadian listeners, pictured above is our Prime Minister Stephen Harper, an odious man to say the least, who won absolute power in last week’s election due to major flaws in our outdated voting system. The illustration is by Roxanne Ignatius.

One Response to “Effing Harper”

  1. By Justin @ Silence Killer on May 14, 2011 | Reply

    I like the NDP’s newfound popularity, even if only to add a third voter choice to the tired two-party system. However, it was also the NDP who split the vote, putting Harper back in power, even though 60% of voters voted AGAINST Conservative.

    The voting system DOES need to change, but even if we could changed the system retroactively, the best case scenario (this time around) would still be Conservatives in power, but with a minority government. More people voted for them than any other party.

    Ontario and Alberta went mostly Conservative, because those are the economic centres of our country and Harper still has the lead when it comes to economic issues. Those two provinces are enough to almost guarantee a win. But, he has no other redeeming qualities and he doesn’t give a shit about arts, freedom or anything else we cherish, so I voted against him, like the rest of the country.
