Canadians prefer Democrats in 2008

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Im thinking the other 41% have no clue what a Republican is and what a Democrat is/ or what they stand for.

Well, how's that compare to Americans?

[Gabu]

The Decima survey this month of more than 1,000 Canadians found that 47 per cent wanted a Democrat to replace Bush in the White House in 2008, compared with just 12 per cent who wanted a Republican. Forty-two per cent didn't offer an opinion.

Only 47%?  Seriously?

The 12% are probably the confused 1-in-10 guys who think that Bush is a Democrat.

The Democratic preference in the survey was found in every region of the country. Albertans, along with self-identified Conservative voters, preferred a Democratic president replace Bush by a two-to-one margin.

Thats really surprises me. I guess Alberta isn't as much like Texas as we thought.

This would only be news worthy if the United States were to send our armies north right now, annex Canada (not a bad idea) and give them the vote before the 2008 election (not a good idea)

Plus, Canadians would really like to see a female President.

Why don't y'all try electing a female Prime Minister first and then lecture us about a female President

What did Kim Campbell's PC's get... like 16% of the vote?

Poland (Bush is very popular there for some reason), India, and the Phillipines.  

Poland: full of religious zealots, post communist, non-individual, synchronized zombies...no wonder they support Bush.

 

India: They will have to take the blame for supporting the Cowboy in their next life ...

Philippines: "The Asian Poland"



Need some sleep ...

LOL!  I know what you mean.  When I worked for the OSCE in Sarajevo, we worked side-by-side with the Polish, and I found it funny how my colleagues from the Western European countries (Dutch, Brits, Italians, etc) disliked and distrusted the Poles, whom they regarded as strange and unsociable.   I found them all rather stoic and they kept to themselves.

It wasn't her fault, she just got the blame for Mulroney's bungling.

Partially, but the Conservative campaign in 1993 was also one of the most incompetent ever in recent history.  One of Kim Campbell's only advantages over Jean Chrétien was the fact that her personal approval ratings were much higher than those of the latter.  Clearly feeling guilty over having an advantage of some sort, her campaign managed to convey the notion in an ad that they were making fun of Chrétien's facial paralysis that he got from a stroke, which allowed Chrétien to give an emotional speech comparing her to the schoolyard bullies who laughed at him him as a kid.  His approvals then shot up to be even with Campbell's, completely ensuring Campbell's defeat thereafter.

Alberta's pretty Conservative, but they're not stupid enough to support the Republicans. There was a Kerry/Bush poll done last year that had Atlantic Canada being more of a pro-Bush area than Alberta.

LOL        I just assumed that two right wing oil-based economies would vote for the same ideology.

Thats an outrage!    Why would those liberal (small L) places like a theocrat like Bush?

"Like" is a rather strong word.  "More pro-Bush" translates to "30% support instead of 20%".

Oh okay. But why would Atlantic Canada be more pro-Bush at any level?

[Platypus]

In many ways, Howard is to the right of Bush, maybe even on a person religious level. That said, Bush's religiousity would kill him before his views just dismembered the corpse down here

I often struggle to see how we elected Howard....then I remember the ALP.

I think they tend to be more pro-American than the rest of the country.  Perhaps they're more down to earth like the President as well. I know the US used to have a number of bases in Newfoundland.

Canadians are all the same.....with their beady little eyes and flapping heads! Who cares what they think!

[DownWithTheLeft]

Canadians live in Canada and therefore cannot vote for president so this means 0
