He should be the most hated man in Canada. After all, he was born in Toronto, lives in Calgary and works in Ottawa -what’s there to like? Yet, the polls are basically unchanged, probably leading to the Pillsbury Minister’s once and future minority government. Around 35 per cent of polled voters are for him -which means 65 per cent aren’t. Argh…
On a personal note, because I do take this personally, there is something good that came out of Steve’s stupid remark about “elitist arts’ galas”. He ain’t getting laid for awhile, since his wife had to cancel out hosting one such event.
I have had it with secretive, mean-spirited, arrogant. self-righteous, bullying politicians. I’ve lived through the twin torments that were Brian Mulroney and Mike Harris. Steven Harper is their unholy love child. Not one of them, for all their braying about being fiscally responsible, has the ability to run a surplus. Anybody but Harper. I don’t know why we’re still having to provide proof the man has a secret agenda. Perhaps if we examine one of his political ad statements. “This is not the time to take risks.” This is presumably referring to the American banking crisis. Then why is Washington attempting to nationalize every bank in sight? Seems pretty risky to me. And it also seems, when American capitalism is eating itself, this is the perfect time to take a risk. For one thing, while they’re distracted, we can make ourselves a little less dependent on them. What are you trying to hide, Steve? Why, oh why, do you want to prop up a system that has obviously outlived its usefulness? It’s not going to get any better by doing nothing. So, Steve,when is the best time to take a risk? When gas is five dollars a litre? Oh, yeah, you are an elected member from the oil patch.
The economy is not separate from the enviroment. And it is time to turn the economy green. I am not advocating any political platform or party. But every other major political party gets it and Harper’s gang does not. Let’s take global leadership in turning the economy green. We’ve got the resources, the technology and the expertise. Let’s get a jump on the rest of the world and make ourselves rich by selling the product to them.
So vote. Hold your nose if you have to. At least by voting, you have the right to complain. And, I’m sure, there’ll be lots to complain about whoever wins. Let’s just not complain about more of the same. Anybody but Harper.
