If you’ve forgotten the Harper Government’s disastrous record, dip-in! This well-referenced critical assessment of strategies, policies and actions of the Conservative government, 2008-2015, will remind you why Conservatives must not be returned to office. www.policyalternatives.ca/wp-content/u...

Distant, south-east view of updrafting clouds with dissipating rain showers, across Halifax harbour, Nova Scotia, with wispy grey clouds and patches of blue sky in the upper atmosphere. The cloud is brightly lit by the sun descending in the sky behind the photographer. The harbour in the foreground is grey and calm, except bright where the cloud reflects. A tiny white ferry boat can be seen crossing the harbour nearer to the horizon. The downtown high rises of the city of Halifax can be seen on the right side horizon, and distant islands guarding the mouth of the harbour are  seen on the left side of the horizon. A small spit of land, with a lone evergreen tree growing at the end, points right to left toward the rainstorm from the right hand corner foreground.

This. Now. πŸ’πŸ’πŸ’
We love America and Americans, and look forward to working together to rebuild whatever survives this nightmare, but for now you’ll forgive us if we show off what β€œCanadian” means to us. I’m just β€œa” Canadian, but together, that’s enough 😁
