  • Canadian support for their Prime Minister weak

    It's important to understand our current Conservative Prime Minister, Stephen Harper got elected with much less of the popular vote than Bush did in 2000. He did however receive more votes than any of the three other parties in Parliament to form a minority government (Canadians wanted an alternative due to a corruption scandal in the major opposition party, but wanted to put him on a very short rope). It's expected that he will lose a vote of confidence in the coming year (triggering an election) & will likely not be reelected, due to his ever decreasing popularity. The overwhelming majority of Canadians (it's been shown in poll after poll) disapprove of Bush to a much greater degree than even America does currently. There's a reason Tucker Carlson & other Conservatives like to rant against Canada.
