Harper was actually running these ads. I pretty well just quoted him. I wondered, "When is the right time to try something new, since what we've been doing clearly hasn't been working?" So I did this cartoon and submitted it. Then the next day a story was in the paper about some of the concerns of teens... especially 18 yr. olds. So instantly this cartoon became even more relevant.
P.S..... Just after the election was completed I saw some news graphic that said that the majority of young people that had voted in mock trials at schools around the country had voted Conservative... (So much for hope in the future) ... but at least N. D. P. came 2nd.... but still.... what the hecks wrong with those kids? Are they brainwashed like many of their elders appear to be or what? .... or maybe the Conservatives used their "shock and awe" rhetoric on them too, and scared the bejesus out of them, just like they do to old people.
This was fun to do. Mercifully, I left out Meaford, unless you count the Bognor Bridge stuff. Trust me when I tell you, I could have easily put Meaford in. It could have had 9 and 10, but
I still find it amazingly disgusting that Harper breaks his own rule for his opportunistic attempt to gain a majority. Thank God, he failed.... but that does mean another election, and probably sooner than later. Oh well, maybe he can go the way of Bush and McCain. I posted this cartoon the day after the American election.
