Please sign this petition, it is of grave urgence!
(mods, sorry if this is in the wrong forum, I wasnt sure)
I think this is the right forum Kelli, it definitely is Mundane and Pointless. I just wonder how many of the non-Canadians on the board are going who in the hell is Stockwell, err Doris Day and why is this here?

Who in the hell is Stockwell?
PBS stopped carrying “Air Farce” and I lost CBC on the shortwave some time ago.
At last, one I can answer! Stockwell Day is the Canadian Alliance candidate for our upcoming election
OK. Here’s the deal.
Stockwell Day thinks that if a certain percentage of the population (either 10% or 3% if he woke up on the wrong side of the bed that morning) signs a petition to have a national referendum on something, it should be held. Abortion rights, gay rights, anything, constitutional or not.
So 22 Minutes (a wonderful topical comedy show on CBC) said, fine. Let’s hold a referendum on whether to force Stockwell Day to change his name to Doris.
News flash: Maclean’s magazine reported that Stock used to work as a dog groomer and interior decorator. He’s also well-preserved, youthful for his age, and nattily dressed. And viciously homophobic.

I fully expect to see Stockwell/Doris on an upcoming episode of Will & Grace myself!!
That man is sooooooo creepy! I think you called it Matt - closet case.
This is as good a place as any to post this: Daywatch!
I watched the debates and I couldn’t help thinking that everything Stockwell/Doris said sounded scripted. “Hi, I’m Stockwell Day. You may remember me from such commercials as ‘picking my grandchildren up’ and ‘putting my grandchildren down’…”
shit and the world thinks 'mercuns have a wack political system
Come on down here…we got plenty of room 
I signed it.
But what’s more important is that 110,5xx people have signed it.
I think that these left wing freaks must have nothing better to do than to make fun of this guy. At least he has plans for a system to make the government take notice of something that is important to a segment of the population, instead of just ignoring it like every other government, and hoping they go away. Get a life.

I have to wonder if Day really thinks this “promising to hold a referendum” thing is going to get him elected. Holding referenda on mundane issues (and you know 22 Minutes aren’t the only people taking advantage of it) is a monumental waste of time and money.
If I didn’t already hate him, I’d be laughing at him.
Man, I miss 22 Minutes and Air Farce.
A heck, he’s not going to get elected as a majority. I am sure he knows that. I think the best he can hope for is a Liberal minority. I still like a lot of his policies though. FWIW, I liked a lot of the Liberal “lets get elected” platform policies from the past too, but they haven’t done a damn thing about most of the ones I cared about. Stockwell gets my vote this year. I don’t even know why the NDP gets airtime on the radio/TV anymore. After living in BC for five years, there is no way in hell I would vote for that party, whether they are related to the Provincial or not.
I like the ideas he has on parole reform, and tax cuts…
Tax cuts???
Whats a ‘tax CUT’??
I also wish we had a young dynamic leader, one who is NOT a hundred years old!
BUT, this guy is creepy, plain & simple.
The fervent light of fanatisism shines from his eyes. To his party, Atlantic Canadians, gays,non-western Canadians etc are nuicances to be ‘dealt’ with. He is all for a provincially controlled health care system, meaning the richer provinces( Alberta-oil) will have better care than the the less well to do ones (Atlantic Canada - fishing). That may not matter to you, but the health care system has kept my terminally ill mother with me for an extra year so far, with good quality of life ( she still works!) Under Stockwell/Doris’s gentle guidance, the quality of health care in my area will deteriorate considerably.
And any leader who holds up signs during a DEBATE is a joke anyway!
No, a PM that puts an Army helmet on backwards during a photo op is a joke. A party, led by a lady (and I mean that in the most flattering sense) that is the most likely to keep the country far enough in debt that will never get out of it is a joke. The leader of another party that doesn’t see its own disentigration before his own eyes is a joke. A federal party only running in one province is an even bigger joke. Hell, everyone is a joke. Stockwell Day at least seems to have a bit of integrity, in a party that has a hope of getting some seats and being a force. The NDP, even though they may have a classy lady as the leader, has a better chance of getting elected as a majority government in Alberta than they do of getting enough seats nation wide to be anything more than an annoying mouthpiece. The only thing people have to be scared of with Stockwell Day is the fear mongering drummed up by the left wing against him.
kellibelli, this laugh made my DAY, and for that, I thank you.
Sounds like an excellent cause to me. Do you have to actually be Canadian to sign the petition? 
I agree, I totally agree. They all suck. The NDP would ruin us, the PC party is pitiful, the Bloc is not a real party,and Cretien is a cretin, but Day isnt any better, UNLESS you live in western Canada, then you have all to gain, and nothing to loose. I hear his party has done a damn good job of running a province,and maybe he should get a chance at running the country, but when one of his parties ‘high ups’ calls the people of my region ‘LAZY’ in an interview…
Well, you can understand my reluctance to hand over the future of my family.
The point for me is moot anyway. The woman in my riding will be re-elected again this year, her competition isnt even trying. The woman is a saint, she has worked tirelessly for the poor, the homeless and underprivledged children for probably 30 years, and is doing a great job since the last election. She is Liberal.
You know who I think would be great???
Pierre Trudeau’s son, the one who spoke so eloquently at his father’s funeral. He is so young, well spoken and sincere…
I wonder how long we will have to wait for him…
Kim: glad you liked it!
Kyla: no! please vote!
pa-PING! pa-PING! pa-PING!
(The new gaydar sound effect)

Ok, first I’ll agree that Stockwell Day is extremely convincing. I was even cheering for him for awhile BUT…
I don’t think you need to be left wing to make fun of this guy. If you look at the CBC documentary, the guy actually believe that evolution is bullshit, that men LIVED WITH DINOSAURS and that the earth is 6000 YEARS OLD.
Come on, don’t tell me you agree with this guy? I know someone who’s always criticizing the left but that is still freaking out about Day!!
Plus, there’s the whole “get tough on crime”. Why is this even brought up when we have record lows in crime??
Anyway, the first thing Chrétien (god I hate that guy) will do when elected is step down. I think he’s getting the message (canadians dislike him profoundly), it’s just that he can’t do anything about it now…
No, you don’t actually have to be anybody to sign the petition. Or, you can cook up as many internet personalities as you would care to track (or not) and sign it multiple times. That’s a big part of why 'net petitions don’t mean very much.
