If you want to know why Stockwell day lost the election in 2000, other than simply being an extremist right wing ideologue, who was leading a right wing extremist Party representing a small fraction of this country. Here are some comments to consider . . .
Maybe Parliament could introduce a motion to change "Stockwell Day's" name to "Doris Day".
What, already been suggested? by Rick Mercer? Brilliant!
Ahhh ... yes, I see, through the miracle of Internet I can go back in history and get:
"Rick Mercer gets minimum signatures for referendum to have Stockwell Day change name to Doris!"

. . .
what's this ... coming up on my Google search of "Stockwell Day " +"Doris Day" ...
"During the 2000 election campaign Day made the following comments and voiced the following beliefs:
...
- Day espoused his belief that evolution doesn't exist and that people do really come from Adam and Eve.
- Day believed that an "Asian Invasion" was taking place at Canadian universities and that we shouldn't allow asians to study in Canada.
- He made a variety of other quotes displaying his anti-immigration beliefs, anti-native rights, anti-women's rights and anti-Quebec."

"The Prank That Destroyed Stockwell Day, By Charles Moffat")
Am I ready this right! Did Day actually say these things?
Perhaps the media could through some light in this dark place.
And Day is running this country as International Trade Minister - sorry, Treasury Board president ???What would aliens say if they came and hovered over Ottawa.
All I can say is, God save Canada! Wait, God helps those that help themselves. We can not rely on divine intervention.
We must take the bull - graven image for all you traditionalists - by the horns, give Harper, MacKay, O'Connor, Baird, Prentice, Van Loan, Nicholson, Toews, . . . oh, and did I mention Day, the boot.
