Whether we are going to have an election or not, the biggest question you must ask the candidates, and yourself is why?

 

The second question you have to ask yourself is when?

 

The why is between you, and your politicians.

 

Why are you still sitting on your ass and not getting involved in the election process and a democratic right that many in this world would die, and have died for?

 

Why are we going to have a Christmas election? Why can’t the opposition wait until March when the current sitting Prime Minister has promised there will be an election?

 

Why would the NDP, Conservatives, and Bloc all get into the political bed together?

 

Can the NDP and Bloc agree with the Conservative’s stand on same-sex marriage while in this marriage of convenience? Can the Conservatives and NDP tell the country they agree with the stated goal of the Bloc, to take Quebec out of Canada, and more than likely doom Canada to not be soon after that?

 

Can the NDP agree with the Conservatives stand on the economy, more privatization of health care, fewer corporate handouts, more continental free trade, a closer relationship with the US, involvement of Canadian Armed Forces in Iraq, or more withdrawal of the Federal Government from many of this country’s internationally envied social programs?

 

If the Conservatives become the government, they will only become a governing party in a minority government situation and will need to have the support of one or two of the other three federal political parties, four if the Green Party of Canada finally makes their much-expected breakthrough in Federal politics. What will the Conservatives give up to do that? Ask them, and ask the local Conservative candidate.

 

If there is an election can we see the agreement that the three opposition parties made, to bring down the Martin government? After all, didn’t the very politicians that now want us to vote for them in a Christmas election they have forced on us make it?

 

Yes the Martin government is bad. It is a group of thieves, liars, and arrogant people.

 

The only realistic option to the Martin minority government will be a Harper minority government. Unless we get off our collective asses and put your whining where your mouth is, and get the kind of people you want in government, through the normal course of our democratic process.

 

If you are content with just sitting there on your ass, then stop the whining about the politicians and that fact they delight in screwing you over with or without a condom.

 

They do that because they can and because you let them.

 

Thank you
