We all stick our foot in our mouths sometimes.....

I think Mt Buzz Hargrove has stuck his foot in his mouth this time 'round. I think his suggestion that Mr. Harper is a separatist is entirely propaganda-ridden and it's the same way that he chose to isolate the West and Quebec. I'm going to be highly critical here because I think he said some ignorant comments in his press conference with Paul Martin. Our Prime Minister had to catch himself in making sure that his statements were entirely complimentary to Mr. Harper and acknowledged his federalism at the same time firing any attempt to suggest Quebecors to vote Bloc.

This is getting ugly and the more people I speak with in Edmonton, they all think the Liberals suck huge ass. I listen to stories of the federal government taking money from public coffers and sticking it to their friends. This was very irresponsible of our government, but I don't see the alternative of a Conservative govn't who may try to adjust the GST at will, when they put it there in the first place. This bit of history mysteriously is gone from our federal & local media outlets, and for some reason, people don't care about it.

I remember studying in grade 10 Social Studies about the federal election taking place back in 1989, and reading Conservative NAFTA propaganda that promised more jobs and greater prosperity for Canada partners with the US & Mexico. Did that come true for all of Canada? Let's not reiterate this statement to loggers in small BC communities that had the bottom fall out because of softwood lumber issues with the U.S. Hmmm...and remember when there wasn't a tax on fast food? The gold 'ol GST is a wonderful memory that still exists today.

Hmmm....the NDP has very good intentions with wanting to stick up for the underdog, supporting students, immigrants, social programs for Canada's kids, etc. but the thought of spending a lot more money then our current federal gov't and possibly spending into deficits could negatively impact our nations' economy. I like Jack Layton, as he is very charismatic but I don't think I'd like NDP as a federal government entirely for fiscal reasons. (8 years of NDP in BC was my experience!)

The lesser of evils perhaps? Or a democratic balance someday, when the choices are greater and not just what the media tells us to care about. How about the Green Party? Let innovation take us into the 2100s century by taxing corporations that pollute, you get huge federal tax breaks for owning environmentally responsible items such as a e-car or scooter. Give the car companies tax breaks for contributing to Canadians this way.

Like John Lennon said, "I'm just a dreamer"..........

I digress.
