Election

Well I guess I would not be Canadian if I didnt include my two cents on the upcoming federal election on Monday. Hmmm what does one say, without going over the top. I guess I should start with a basic recap of what I remember of politics from school, because something does not seem right. Now I know we dont have a two party system, but in a two party system you usually have a left of center party and a right of center party. This in Canada is suppose to translate into the Conservatives on the right, and the Liberals on the Left. However, in my opinion, both of these parties have been well right of center for a few decades now. So where does that leave us. Well basically it leaves us listening to two parties argue about the same right wing crap.

And then we have the NDP. A moderate liberal party, with a liberal agenda, but by contrast to the aforementioned right wing nazi parties, they look like some crazy left wing communists. This is not right, the Liberal party of Canada should not be allowed to use the name liberal, it is a misnomer, and should be agains the law. People who do not understand politics (and mind you I am not claiming to understand them that well) are being misled by the name of liberal. If we want to be an honest nation, we should have the Liberal party change its agenda and platform, or rename its party "The not-as-conservative as the conservative party".

So i guess what I am trying to say is I really dont understand what I am voting for. It seems that whenever I vote, I tend to find out too late, that what I voted for, was not what I was hoping for.

But I leave you with this quote of Confucious

"To put the world right in order, we must first put the nation in order; to put the nation in order, we must first put the family in order; to put the family in order, we must first cultivate our personal life; we must first set our hearts right."
