depressing forecast may come true. It would be better to get the government we want, one that reflects our true values of freedom and equal access to
opportunity. So, what if there was a way to a better politics, one in which we could feel proud to participate?
I’m hearing people don’t want any kind of Conservative government. The dominant paradigm is crumbling. Parties that represent predominantly the
interests of capricious corporations and the concentration of wealth among their friends and masters must be challenged. We cannot continue in the direction we are going. At some point, nationally, we have to make a significant change.
As to fears about the left’s economic platform, Harper, the man of
unprecedented deficits who presides over the current economic downturn has the gall to call the ideas of his opponents “disastrous” without any details or
justification. That’s fear mongering, folks!
So is the only real strategic vote the NDP? Look at Quebec four years ago and now Alberta! I was out there in June kidding Calgarians. With humour they said “No, we’re not rednecks anymore, we’re NDP!” That’s where Canadians want to go!
