Just Gets Bizarrer and Bizarrer.
We here in Canada have a Federal Election coming up on October 19th of this year.
Although the official period of campaigning has yet to begin – in reality it has – hence the title of this Blog.
For the past 10 years the Conservatives have held power but current polls show them in second place – following the leftist New Democratic Party with the Liberals following closely in 3rd.
So it’s anyone’s to win at this point.
And the policies are coming out fast and furious.
The NDP – led by a 9/11 denier wants to reinstate door to door mail delivery despite the fact that everyone and their dog now uses the internet to communicate.
What next – bring back the horse and buggy.
They are also seriously looking at providing animals with human rights. Steak anyone?
The Liberals too – not to be outdone – want to restore door to door mail delivery.
They also want to make voting mandatory.
That is certainly a cornerstone of democracy …’Big Brother says you must vote’.
I have never missed a vote in my life but would give serious consideration to doing so if I am told by the State that I have to vote or face the consequences. Buggy Whip anyone?
The Grits – that’s what we call our Liberals - also are promising to institutionalize proportional representation. You know the one that Italy uses to create pizza parliament after pizza parliament.
The real problem for them is that the left is split between the Grits and the NDP. The Conservatives and the Reform Party had a similar problem but they solved it be merging.
Buy they would much rather create chaos rather than deal with the real issue.
I get the sense that if the Conservatives make no promises at all – they are guaranteed victory come Election Night.
As I see it…
‘K.D. Galagher’
