On January 23rd, Canadians will probably vote in a minority government. If this does turn out to be the case, nothing will be solved to rectify the rut this country is in. As our politicians bicker, Canada stagnates.
With the Bloc Québecois poised to sweep the province of Québec, a minority government is the last thing Canadians need. More importantly, when Canadians head to the polls, we need to seriously send a message.
The Liberal Party of Canada is drunk. Drunk on power and seduced by scandals. It is a rudderless collection of irresponsible buddies from a 2nd rate frat house. In this manner, they are brethren to the Democratic Party in the United States. There are no philosophical ideals or values to speak of in the Liberal Party. They are slaves to the polls and prisoners to special interest- pure and simple. Accountability, a precious concept these days, does not exist in the Liberal lexicon.
With no true opponent, the Liberals run this place like the PRI did Mexico throughout the 20th century - down and dirty. The NDP are as relevant as Karl Marx and the parochial Bloc are as useful as a car with no engine.
That leaves the Conservatives. And Harper just might be the right guy to get people to forget the other parties.
The Conservatives are not quite ready to take power, but what are our choices? Such is the sad state of governance here.
Regardless, this time around Canadians must vote responsibly and with a conscience. How many times can a person tolerate being robbed? Going with the devil you know is not healthy in a democracy. We need choice.
We must vote Conservative in huge numbers. Not because they are better, but for change. We should wipe the Liberals out like they wiped out the Conservatives in the early 90s - though this would not solve any of our problems. The Liberal party needs to be gutted - gutless people should be. If Canadians vote for the Liberals we will deserve what we get. This won't stop us from complaining though. It's the timeless Canadian pass time. Fools - all of us.
