Just a quick bit about our current situation here in Canada. Our Prime Minister, in all his infinite wisdom, decided to break a law that he introduced and passed during the last session to plunge our country in yet another 300 million dollar election campaign. Unfortunately it may pay off for him as our alternatives are a party led by a man who barely speaks English, sovereigntists from Quebec, fiscal irresponsibles whose best strategy seems to be like Obama and a party which can't even get into the televised debate. In the first three days the Conservative polls have improved from a healthier minority to bordering on a majority. Now this is where the fun and games start. Our Harper knows that the thought of him winning a majority is scary to most Canadians outside of the prairies. So this man is actually downplaying the possibility of them winning a majority to avoid losing votes as he did in the last election when the polls reflected these type of numbers. He has also already gagged most of his MP's from speaking to the media in the fear that one of them may let loose with some far-right wing rhetoric. In the next few weeks I hope to be able to put in my few cents on the key issues during our election. As of right now I'm actually undecided as to how to vote. I guess it's apparent from the above that I've only so far decided whom not to vote for.
