In my final post before Rob Fraud
becomes his self appointed gods gift to all of Ontario ….... or
will those of us who see through his blather actually gather behind
the only other viable choice, one union loving but less corporate
embracing NDP candidate? In my own riding of Grey Bruce Owen Sound I
suspect that my vote will simply be like spitting in the wind as for
the past 20 years the Conservatives have be in firm control locally
with a minimum of 47% of the vote over that time.
Even if one of the other partys did well with the number of
'alternative' candidates running and splitting the vote I suspect the
outcome would be the same ......
here is the local list for this riding.
New Democratic Karen Gventer
Liberal Francesca Dobbyn
Liberal Francesca Dobbyn
Progressive Conservative Bill Walker
Green Don Marshall
Consensus Ontario Janice Kaikkonen
Trillium Liz Marshall
Alliance Enos Martin
Libertarian Jay Miller
It all makes me feelthat my vote is all
but useless particuarly that the power of the party leader of whoever
gains the most seats (not the most popular vote I note) has almost
unlimited power to the point where even the elected minions of his
own party have a minimal inpact upon the actual decisions made by a
few 'insiders' many of whom were not actualy elected ....., me
cynical, not much!
Despite all of the above I urge you to
make the trek to your local poll location Thursday and mark your
ballot if for no other reason to show your support for your candidate
of choice or the party he or she represents ..... or perhaps more
probably to show who you DO NOT want dictating polocy for the next 4
years (or less if it turns out to be a minority government).
A couple of quotes to close this
post.....

euphemisms, lies, emotionalism and fear-mongering to dupe average
people into accepting--or even demanding--their own enslavement.”

is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.”

Like you, Rural, my wife and I will vote for a losing candidate. But, in our view, he's the best candidate.
