Canadian Federal Election
On October14th, Canada had it's Federal Election. There were five parties in the running with candidates, The conservatives, with Stephen Harper, the liberals, with Stephan Dion, the green party, with Elizabeth May, the NDP's with Jack Layton, and the Bloc Quebecois with Gilles Duceppe. All the parties were fighting over Quebec as usual. I think that the people of Quebec are really smart, they sell their vote to the highest bidder, so whoever says that they will make the most change in Quebec is who the people of Quebec will vote for. If only the Albertans and British Columbians would do that, they just vote for Conservative because they can't trust the Liberals after the scandal, the NDP's are a bit wishy washy, no one really know about the Green party and the Bloc Quebecois are a nationalist party who are trying to separate Quebec from Canada. Tune in for more next week on the American election, McCain vs. Obama. Did you know that the Al- Qaida support McCain because he will probably keep the American war machine going and then the Al- Qaida have a better chance to ruin America's economy.
Sincerely,
Jacqueline

PS - You'll have to show me how to make the poll gadget work properly!!! :)
The American and Candian system are very different aren't they? Although I like having the vote over and done with, I somehow think more time chosing leaders as the Americans do, might just give Canadians the first they need to actually get out and vote. D
ReplyDeleteDemocracy is a fascinating system if it is truly used to its potential.
Dear Jacqueline,
ReplyDeleteYou have an intelligent insight into Canadian politics. I'm especially impressed at your viewpoint of the Bloc Quebecois. I'm excited as well about the Nov.4th election and will keep my eyes open for your next blog. Keep up the good opinions! Mme.G
