Who Should Immigrants Vote for?

First a depressingly real fear: With Ontario dumbing down gradually, I see larger Canadian mobs voting conservative again, so this post might as well not be written or do any good at all. You’ve been sadly forewarned.

And secondly, to answer the question: Ask not why you should not vote Conservative. Ask why are you so stupid to even consider voting Conservative.

KISS and Keep It Simple, Stupid: Choose love, not hate

So why should immigrants not vote Conservative? Apart from it being a no-brainer, it’s not the future, stupid. Don’t let them get you into any fancy semantics or reasoning or plays on ideology. Just pick up a dictionary.

Or better still, just listen to, ahem, informed bloggers!

So, if you want to be an ‘informed’ voter yourself, (haha) I’ll put it in the simplest, pre-school-grade, no-nonsense nutshell for you: War, bigotry, big-business favouritism and thinly veiled right-wing self-righteousness are just some of the Tories’ prized ‘qualities’.

But never underestimate the power of human stupidity

Though I won’t be surprised if many immigrants vote conservative out of sheer stupidity. I mean, this is North America: we’re right next to the 800 pound Gorilla-nation where we see bizarre phenomena like Black Republicans, Jews for Jesus, ‘Creationists’, etc.

Even they learnt to be smart!

So can we!

Yes, anything is possible in this bizarro continent! But in case you’ve been undecided: make up your mind now… We don’t vote right-wing nutwings Tory. Period!

And keep the opponent of your opponent your ally

Newspapers always put on a show every election by trying to appear unbiased despite everyone knowing who they support.

I mean, do you really expect the New York Times to back George W Bush or Fox ‘News’ Channel to rally behind Obama or our own The Star to endorse any gun-wielding yee-haw from the prairies?

This website is not a newspaper or your grandpa’s traditional mainstream media. This is my blog. And my all-too-familiar liberal left-wing biases aren’t hidden on this blog, to put it mildly.

When I had filed my application for immigration from my home town in the old country, there was a Liberal government in Canada. However, in a cruel joke or irony in my face, my application was approved by a Conservative government. For which, well… I’ll always be grateful.

You can say I’m here because of the conservatives in a twist of fate? But you’d be forgiven to say that because I’d have thought twice before applying for immigration in the first place if that were the case back then, seriously.

So thanks, Tories, but no thanks!

¹ What you don’t know can’t possibly hurt you, or so goes the blissful anthem of the masses, right?
