			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://bushharper.com/">BushHarper.com</a> is a website created by the Liberals to expose how similar Bush and Harper is. Great! Except that it&#8217;s poorly executed.</p>
<p>All that&#8217;s on the site is a picture of Harper and Bush shaking their dirty hands and two YouTube videos. The potential for this site is great and it would have been so much better had they created a website that totally believed that Bush and Harper are indeed running for office. If they put up more content than just two videos the site could be something that goes viral in Canada. Still, the videos have a good number of views since they were uploaded on Oct. 1 with 18,514 and 9,439 views respectively.</p>
<p>The videos also play as attack ads against Harper and are blatantly supporting the Liberals. Had the videos been all about the &#8220;good&#8221; things that the two neo-cons have done it would have more effect. It could attack the very root of what&#8217;s wrong their policies. But I guess by doing that the Liberals would also be criticizing their own stances albeit indirectly. We can&#8217;t forget that Jean Chrétien and Paul Martin were the ones who helped set the stage for neoconservatives in Canada. </p>
<p>Here are the videos from the site:<br />
On the economy:<br />

Canadians that are not in favour of the neo-conservative Conservative Party leader Stephen Harper are using Facebook to help oust him. It&#8217;s become an issue that <a href="http://www.cbc.ca/news/canadavotes/story/2008/09/12/facebook-vote-swap.html">Elections Canada had to look into facebook groups</a> and they ended up concluding that, yes, <a href="http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20080917/election2008_votes_080917/20080917?s_name=election2008">the facebook groups are legal</a>. </p>
<p>The groups in question are easily accessible through facebook and seem to be pretty active.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.new.facebook.com/pages/Pair-Vote-Swap-Canada-Election-2008/34066977428">Pair Vote (Swap) &#8211; Canada Election 2008</a> is the place to partner with someone else to try to coordinate the best voting option based on your respective locations.</p>
<p>Similarly, <a href="http://www.new.facebook.com/group.php?gid=25808609138">Anti-Harper Vote Swap Canada</a> provides the same service. </p>
<p><a href="http://img110.imageshack.us/img110/6936/example1ie0.gif">Click here for an example</a> of how this vote-swapping works.</p>
<p>It leaves me to wonder why the people behind <a href="http://www.voteforclimate.ca/en/index.php">Vote for Climate</a> don&#8217;t have a facebook page.</p>
