Vote on January 23rd!
Thankfully this election has been abbreviated due to Christmas. I was glad that most of the politicians did not bother people over the Christmas vacation period. Of course this was probably more about not being able to get people's attention then it was about being sensitive!
In the last few weeks things have been getting dirty. I especially liked the "army in the streets" ad that the Liberals had produced and decided it was too controversial to run but it "accidentally" got released. Name calling, shouting, taking the leaders' words and twisting them, it's all there. So much for the genteel inoffensive Canadian way. There's no need for it people.
I also think the parties should be stopped from making spending promises. I mean you can promise money for every cause and special interest group under the sun during a campaign. But the story changes drastically when the elected party "opens the books" and discovers "Oh things are much worse than we thought, so unfortunately we can't live up to all those promises we made." Stop it! People want to hear where you stand on issues not how you will spend money you don't have and that doesn't belong to you. It belongs to us, the tax payers.
My favorite item for this election is CBC's VLT Voting Machine.
