Time Well Spent
My blog is woefully out of date, but it happens. I’ve been rather busy lately with this pesky thing called “the real world”; that big, scary place out of the internet. Mostly due to the post-grad. However, some of my time is being devoted to the riding association. I’ve volunteered my Thursdays to working on the David Sparrow election campaign. He’s the NDP’s candidate for the Don Valley West riding. Through a combination of distributing signs, sealing envelops (and standing in pointless lines because the person in front of me and the cashier have little English); checking over spread sheets of voter data, I feel I’ve made a small contribution to my riding.
The riding was originally to have been in a federal by-election on September 22nd, but because Harper violated his own law that would have seen the next federal election in October of 2009, Canada is going to the polls on October 14 of this year.   Of course, that’s just one of many broken promises by the double-faced twat who is undeserving of the position of being Prime Minister.
“Fixed election dates prevent governments from calling snap elections for short-term political advantage. They level the playing field for all parties and the rules are clear for everybody.” ~ courtesty of CBC News and ABC
Though I know how I intend to vote – it should be obvious from the opening paragraph – I support the statement that is being made by ABC (Anything But Conservative); a site sponsored by Newfoundland-Labrador Premier Danny Williams. We as a nation need to vote for all the other parties. Vote for the NDP, Liberals, Green and Bloc. We need to stop the Conservatives from selling out Canada to the corporations; from destroying healthcare and everything else that makes Canada unique and not just the 51st American state.
We need to make the right (or rather left) choice and the choice is to vote for someone who will be figuratively sitting with you at the kitchen table when you lay out the budget and not thinking of how to save the corporations money in the form of tax cuts.
Stumble It!
