Please - Make it a Minority !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s sad to watch a great travesty occur in a neighbour’s house – it’s much, much tougher to  have to sit through it in your own house.

In 2004, John Kerry ran a flat, uninspired campaign that handed re-election back to Dubya. In 2006, Paul Martin is running perhaps even a stupider campaign handing the country over to the Reform party.  

The great thing about democracy is that we all get a vote. The bad thing about democracy is that we all get a vote. The average person is not curious and does not think things through – not when considering something of extreme importance such as who is going to lead the nation.

What is going to be very frightening is that Harper will blindly follow Dubya – and there’s a regime that has been a disaster. Harper does not value human rights, women’s reproductive rights, the environment, health care or social programs. What he does value is raising taxes for the poor and cutting them for the rich. Tax cuts plus new spending means cuts to social programs. Ontario has been ruined for decades by half a decade of Harris-ment and Harper is going to do the same thing.

The only hope I see is a Harper minority – which will be tough on him because he’s not comfortable with minorities, such as gay Canadians.
