The NDP have officially gotten their official leader. The result was somewhat expected, but some surprises was the amazing showing that Nathan Cullen made. But now that Muclair is leader it’s time to start talking about the political map of Canada. With all new leaders it is very normal for the

The Happy Wanderer: Broken Convention possibility
Romney is the front runner again (and all is back to normal). At this point the only thing that can give Santorum enough delegates for a broken convention is if Gingrich drops out. Santorum could still win more delegates than Romney though. How? My math Skills at work. You need 1144 delegates to clinch the nomination.
Continue readingThe Happy Wanderer: So Illinois?
In Irder for Santorum to have any chance to stop Romney from getting 1144. He will need to win over big states and mid western states. Illinois is one of the states Santorum needs to win if he still wants to win the nomination. Now if Romney wins today he
Continue readingThe Happy Wanderer: Super Tuesday proejections
A few hundred delegates will be up for grabs today and I have a few projection on who will win which state. In 2008 there was more than 20 states this time only 10. (which makes much easier to follow) Vermont This state doesn’t have many polls. The last poll
Continue readingThe Happy Wanderer: Sleep all You Want, But Don’t Cut!
Well the story says it all for itself. A Conservative MP sleeps at a committee session on veterans. Now before you bash the Conservative sleeping and saying that he doesn’t care about veterans I think it is important to know that we have all sleepy moments. I just last Friday night slept way too early and forgot
Continue readingThe Happy Wanderer: Harper: Not My Problem!
Harper may have a majority in the Canadian house of commons, but in the provincial legislatures (or National assembly in Quebec) people elected different people in government. Yet Harper is going to push down 137 million dollars in cost down the provinces budget for parole and persecution. While the Federal government would only have to pay an
Continue readingThe Happy Wanderer: Election Tampering! MAYBE!
Elections can get ugly and in the last election it was apparently especially ugly. With constant amount of evidence showing that people in many ridings were called to lie about a polling station change. If it can be proven that enough people were disenfranchised from voting in a riding there can be by-election. Now
Continue readingThe Happy Wanderer: Spending Billions On……..
Peter Mckay affirmed that his government will buy the F-35 fighter jets. Peter Mckay stated that his government won’t spend a penny more then they are suppose to. We are of course suppose to trust this, even though the cost of the fighter jets went from 18 billion to 30
Continue readingThe Happy Wanderer: Republicans No Fiscal Conservatives
According to the independent committee for responsible federal budget most Republican candidates aren’t at all fiscally responsible. In fact 3 out of the 4 Republicans would increase the debt over the next ten years. The worst on the budget is Newt Gingrich according to the report he would increase the
Continue readingThe Happy Wanderer: What A Surprise!!
The Conservatives never seem to stop amazing me on how much hypocrisy is in their government. When the gun registry was being battled in the house of commons one of the main arguments was that the gun registry was inefficient and was a waste of money. Considering the gun registry
Continue readingThe Happy Wanderer: R is for Romney and Rick Santorum
Romney released his tax returns only to show us that he makes a lot of money and is taxed at a rate 15.4% the lowest rate is 15%! Now this was of no surprise to some. It only show the enormous amount of money the U.S could be getting to reduce the
Continue readingThe Happy Wanderer: And So Goes the Base!
Romney in 2008 had one very strong allies. That ally was his home state called Michigan he won it by 9%. Granted it wasn’t a complete landslide, but it was one of the only states he did win. Which means that in a race where Romney is the front runner one would assume Michigan would
Continue readingThe Happy Wanderer: Heck Trudeau Your Right!
I think people are over doing this statement. First of all speaking as someone from Quebec, we are much more left wing then most provinces, and when Trudeau made the comment that he would think more about a independent Quebec if Canada becomes Harper’s Canada is quite frankly for me
Continue readingThe Happy Wanderer: Our Record!
In Canada thanks to Stephen Harper we are again discredited to the world. Since budget cuts to scientific research on the ozone many scientist in the U.S are saying that this will jeopardize Ozone research. “It’s unthinkable that data collection is beginning to shut down in this vast country.”Anne Thompson,
Continue readingThe Happy Wanderer: The Long RUN!
Well Romney, Rick , Gingrich and Paul congratulations you have now become Obama-Hillary. AT least I think so. I think this is going to go much further than super Tuesday. Why 1. States that I though were safe for Mitt were not.After Florida I thought it would have been a
Continue readingThe Happy Wanderer: Maine Votes and I have No IDEA!
Today Maine votes for which candidate they want to run against Obama. Now I would try and guess where these states would Go, but There aren’t any recent polls. The last poll was in October (which is a lifetime ago) it still has Bachman , Perry, John Huntsman and Herman
Continue readingThe Happy Wanderer: Tax Sugar!
Some U.S researchers are calling Sugar a toxic substance that needs to be taxed. Now I am all for taxing sugar as well as soda drinks and then putting that money either at reducing the deficit or putting into Health Care. I don’t like saying that sugar is toxic. Everything CAN
Continue readingThe Happy Wanderer: The Gingrich who stole South Carolina
Now I don’t actually want to sound mean, but I just couldn’t resist. Well so far we have three candidates who won a state. Rick Santorum after some recounts in Iowa, Romney with his neighboring state New Hampshire and now Gingrich after getting endorsed by Rick Perry wins South Carolina. One Candidate in the whole
Continue readingThe Happy Wanderer: What I Learned In One Day
As a politcal junkie conventions are one of the most exiciting events I can go to. This convention so far is no exception. At the convention is one of the only places in the world where you can tap someone’s sholder and say “hey Ima Liberal” and actually have a
Continue readingThe Happy Wanderer: The Romney Plan
One of the strongest political maneuvers is to draw a picture to the electorate that one candidate is going to be the inevitable winner. In the U.S this practice is used much more in the primaries, because after the first few states have their say the media and the candidates
