For those of you that are framillier with Canadian politics you know that for about the last 5 years or so the Canadian government has been a little unstable. We have had 3 elections in this time, all of them minority governments, in which the ruling political party has needed the support of one or more opposition parties to pass any laws. Up untill now everything about this power struggle has been peaceful and democratic. That has changed just recentaly.
Last week the three opposition parties united to over through the government, usually this practice is aceptable, the leading party did something to make the others mad, and create grounds for an election. This time the situation is different, the current government hasn't been in power for two months yet, and hasn't done anything controversial. What makes this situation so horrible is that if the government is othethrown we will not just have an election and let the voters decide who they want to lead the country, the opposition wants to unite the three parties and form an unelected colition government, these three parties are: The liberals, the NDP (socialists) and the Bloc Quebecoise(seperatists, and not the cool kind with droids either) These three parties want to work together to take control of Canada unelected and without any public support.
This is a grave time for the future of Canada, if you couldn't make a whole lot of sense of what I wrote, please read this:

Also the PM is adressing the nation at 7 tonight on all major networks.
The society matters more the will of the individual, everyone deserves to live a life without poverty no matter how evil or lazy we are.
In addition to that: The society matters more the will of the individual, That's the founding principle of Facism
I fail to see why you support the movement of the capitalists who don't care about the satisfaction of its customers or workers or the possibility of the class system being completely removed from society. Fairer pay and more freedom in choice. Imagine it, more people capable of going to University - that would be fantastic. Those kind of freedoms are simply impossible through Capitalism.
Socialism doesn't bring everyone to the same level as you might expect, it only makes life easier for the working classes by taxing the wealthy more reasonably. There are still businesses and there are still class systems, although I don't see why you would want the latter. Take Labour's Britain during the post war era and you'll have a detailed example of a working Socialist Britain which also introduced the National Health Service (something Canada and America still lack) meaning free medical care for everyone. I fail to see what is so horribly wrong with Socailism when you have examples like that.

I think something is a-foot because I'm trusting no glorified facists.
