Voting ends 23h59 Ontario time, Monday. Vote at: http://www.timhudak.ca/final-lester-b-pearson-vs-louis-riel

Thanks to the 217 voters who pulled LOUIS RIEL thru the last round. It was close - Duplessis got 205 votes - probably from 10 people voting 20 times but no matter.

The torys tried to pull out everything to stop RIEL but they failed. They killed him once but not this time.

Its Lester Pearson against LOUIS RIEL. Vote RIEL. Tell your friends vote RIEL.

This is what the Torys did - is what Torys want to do again

Dont let them. Instead lets triump with LOUIS RIEL, like this:

Vote and tell your friends to vote -

I guess all the Tories are holding their noses with one hand and voting for Pearson with the other!

Riel's Babble Rabble

In a delightful slugfest, Louis Riel's will for revenge bent and then broke the iron man of Quebec politics, Maurice Duplessis, just as the midnight bell sounded. In the most exciting Great Dominion Dust-Up contest to date, Riel edged out Duplessis in the final half hour with a final vote tally of 217 to 205.

Riel's avid babble rabble has been a boisterous bunch boosting Riel to avenge across the spectrum of the Canadian political establishment from Kim Campbell to Tommy Douglas.

I didn't want to stick around that site much. But I'm curious how Tommy Douglas did/is doing.

Yeah, despite beating Diefenbaker in 1963 by promising to bow down to the U.S. and arm Bomarc missiles with nuclear warheads.

REGIME CHANGE IN CANADA BY THE U.S.

The plot to bring down Canada's government came to a head in January, 1963. On Jan.3, top U.S. Air Force General Lauris Norstad held an Ottawa press conference. Prompted by questions from Lynch, and other reporters briefed by U.S. intelligence, Norstad criticized Canada's antinuclear stance. On Jan. 12, Pearson announced his new policy of supporting U.S. nuclear weapons in Canada. In protest, Pierre Trudeau called Pearson the "defrocked priest of peace" and refused to run for the Liberals.

Pearson indeed stood up to the USA

In 1964, Pearson resisted U.S. pressure to enter the Vietnam War. In a speech he delivered at Philadelphia’s Temple University in 1965, he called for a halt in the American bombing of North Vietnam. A furious U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson summoned him to Camp David, the presidential retreat. LBJ accused Cricket of inciting dissent, warning him not to “come into my home and piss on my carpet.”

Diefenbaker pushed over 16, 000 jobs and an aircraft industry to the States while we got stuck with nuclear missiles with limited range guaranteed to mushroom cloud over Canadian territory. It was a multi-billion dollar boondoggle.
