Jack Layton's death. Hands down. Also the saddest day of the year for me personally.

My option was not in the list. I would go with, no matter how much criminal activity was committed by the Conservatives in Ottawa, no one was held accountable.

Jack Layton - As a short term visitor to Canada in 2011 (I am now back in India), I was fascinated by the rise of the Orange Crush and saddened by the death of my Canadian Hero...
It was Jack who greatly influenced me to learn more about Canada.

The biggest (and one of the saddest) is Canada is now being run by a right-wing dictator.

...who has changed the law so farmers are no longer jailed for selling their own wheat.
Those aren't exactly the hoofprints of a dictator.

They were jailed because they broke the law. Using your logic, the solution to people killing each other is to make murder legal.

A dictator is an apt description for Harper. 61% of the farmers were against disbanding the Wheat Board. Yet Harper limits debate. He has full control over his peon MPs ensuring they always vote they way he wants them to. And he muzzles anyone connected with government who doesn't toe the party line.

Plus he totally ignores the 61% of voters who didn't vote for him and don't subscribe to his neo-conservative agenda. We are as close to a dictatorship in Canada as we've ever been. His only goal is inflict his right-wing ideology onto Canadians.

And the icing on this depressing cake is having to respond to a right wing peon like yourself who blindly cheers and celebrates everything your dictator does. This is the last time I respond to you "Canada Stan." You sicken me.

The Liberals were annihilated? When did that happen?

They suffered a setback, but we'll see where they stand 4 years down the line... as it stands, they're already gaining support back.
