Election Time
It's come again -- all too soon.
It's time to choose who will lead our country for the next...six months or so. And, as always, at least to me; it's like choosing between the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
Famine
Paul Martin and the Liberal Party of Canada.
The man that wants to institute a Bureacracy of Childcare, so that I can pay for the destruction of a private industry in Canada, and then it's rebirth as a cushy government job.
This is the party that has robbed millions, if not billions of dollars from "general revenue". They overfund projects and pad their pockets, they bribe large companies with tax dollars, and grants, so that they will support them at election time with private donations and advertising. The Liberals have raised taxes continuously for years, and then had the audacity to say that they were "balancing the budget". Their party platform actually says exactly this -- "...guarantee that government is accountable and efficient.". Obviously they're talking about some other countries government; because I certainly don't see that happening any time soon.
But really...who can blame them? It's not like they can be held accountable. Politicians are largely above the law in Canada. In Canada, to the Dictator goes the Spoils. And we've had the Dictator of one kind or another leading our country for most of the 20th Century.
Pestilence
A party that has grown insidiously larger for the last 15 years.
The Reform Party merged with numerous provincial Tory parties, to form the Canadian Alliance. This was to "unite the right" and form a unit to merge with the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada. This was accomplished in 2003, whereby the current Conservative Party of Canada was born.
This party is somewhat of an enigma to me. Their platform changes constantly to suit their environment, and they seem willing to admit to mistakes, but they don't seem to have much of an idea of what they'd actually be able to accomplish if they ever got a majority government.
Everything that they do seems to be more of a "Get the Liberals out of power" than a "What can we do for Canada?". This makes them more like a retrovirus, to be cleansed when their purpose is accomplished, than a viable party.
Death
The Bloc Québécois. A party devoted almost entirely to the destruction of Canada. But, like Death itself, it has it's merits on occasion.
Even though they want to destroy our country by creating [even more of] a gaping hole of nothingness inbetween Ontario and the Maritimes -- I've heard they actually have some good party policies. Not that you would ever know. Their website is in French, their platform is in French, and they don't have candidates running anywhere outside Quebec.
War
The New Democrat Party. This is the party that I will go to any length to stop. I'd vote fucking Liberal before I vote for Jack Layton.
Let's break down their platform:
Aboriginal Peoples - Build up the infrastructure on reserves with tax dollars. Give legal space within Canada for Aboriginal peoples to have self-governance. And this one I have to quote - "Ensuring equitable participation of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples and governments in Canada’s stewardship of air, water and lands.
* Encourage environmental career choices.
* Provide specific space on boards, commissions and international delegations.
* Ensure equitable participation in environmental projects and activities, especially those related to climate change. "
I'm sorry. But exactly what do people that are 1/8th Aboriginal that have been living in largely self-induced squalor know about "environmental projects and activities"? Beyond the fact that they know they can legally poach all the animals they want no matter the season. Score one for Jack for getting the "poor underappreciated Aboriginals" on his side with government jobs and handouts.
"We are the only party with a formal policy of freezing nominations until there is a member of an affirmative action group seeking the nomination. Affirmative action candidates for the purpose of our policy are those individuals who identify as belonging to groups significantly under-represented in the House of Commons...Those groups are women, youth, LGBT, persons of visible minority, persons living with disabilities and Aboriginal peoples."
...this party actually sponsors hiring people because they have a different colour to their skin, or different genitalia. Hiring on merit is obviously an outmoded pratice -- genetic modification is obviously the way to go, since under JL's rule that's the only way Caucasian males will be able to get employment it seems.
This party scares the fuck out of me. Not least of which because Jack Layton is actually relatively charismatic. More than Paul Martin or Frenchy anyway. Which means it's basically between Conservative and NDP.
I honestly have no idea who the hell I'm going to vote for on Monday. The Liberals lie, cheat, and steal; the Conservatives have to have an alternative agenda that they're not talking about...because if their current platform is all that they've got, it's scary as fuck; the Bloc doesn't run here, and I don't know if I could vote for someone that only speaks French, and hates anyone that doesn't give them lots of money for no reason; and the NDP are on a Crusade for the minorities to have more rights than anyone else.
We're all fucking doomed.
