supported by Conservatives, backed by the Liberals, whispers from the NDP.

I've said it before and i'll say it again, our political system is a joke. We have conservatives, conservatives in sheeps clothing, and a party that hasn't had an original thought in its head since Jack Layton passed away.

Every time I go to the polls all I can think is "which type of shit am I more willing to tolerate eating this time?"
