Canada Election Watch: Michael Moore Bemoans Apparent Conservative Party Success at the Polls

AFP: US filmmaker Michael Moore weighs in on Canada’s election

Controversial American documentary filmmaker Michael Moore bemoaned an apparent right turn by liberal northern neighbor Canada in its upcoming general election.

The quotes:

“Oh, Canada — you’re not really going to elect a Conservative majority on Monday, are you? That’s a joke, right? I know you have a great sense of humor, … but this is no longer funny.”

“First, you have the courage to stand against the war in Iraq — and then you elect a prime minister who’s for it. You declare gay people have equal rights — and then you elect a man who says they don’t.”

“A man running the nation to the south of you is hoping you can lend him a hand by picking Stephen Harper, because he’s a man who shares his world view. Do you want to help George Bush by turning Canada into his latest conquest?”

“Far be it from me, as an American, to suggest what you should do,” he added. “I hope you don’t feel this appeal of mine is too intrusive, but I just couldn’t sit by, as your friend, and say nothing.”

The Canadian people are tired of the corruption and bankrupt left-wing policies that accompany the Liberal Party and Prime Minister Paul Martin.

A Conservative Party victory today will not be a victory for President George Bush but a victory for the Canadian people.

As Tabin points out, the revolution is taking place with thanks to American blogger Ed Morrissey of Captain’s Quarters, who single-handedly helped blow the lid off the Canadian liberals’ culture of corruption.
