Today my roommate received his Election Canada voting ticket in the mail, but I have yet to receive one. Why, you may ask, as it seems like I live to vote every 28 days! Geez, if you can figure that out, it means I direct my pissy anger and/or total affection at our elected officials when this time of the month occurs. Too much information, so let's stick to the issue at hand here.
I have since voted in 3 provinces: British Columbia (provincial & federal), Manitoba (municipal), Ontario (provincial). No big deal really, just call the number and they send you a ticket. I guess that could label me quite the non-Patriot.
This federal election, I am supporting our dear federal NDP party. Not only do I want my tax dollars going to the underdogs of society, I would like to hear some good ol'Canadian bitching about federal dollars going to ad agencies. If the government would stay the same as it currently is, I would also be satisfied. I would like to see the social policies of the NDP create an impact on our foreign policy, so I will vote for that specific change.
Although lots of criticisms have hit the Liberal government, I would like to maintain a balanced federal budget with surpluses and a clean/progressive human rights record.
May God be with us when we go to the polls.........
Cheers,
Becca
