So the Canadian election is just a few short weeks away ... and being the political junkie I am, I'm listening to the news, checking out the polls etc.
The news that the Conservatives might form the next government is disturbing. I'm a social democrat from way back ... with a significant amount of lefty socialist in me too. I've been a member of both the Liberal Party and the NDP. So I guess you know where I stand ... definitely left of centre.
To me the new Conservatives are just Alliance in sheep's clothing. I don't trust Steven Harper as far as I could throw him. Just don't. He seems so very arrogant and his policies ... Private healthcare. Notwithstanding clause. Scaaaarrrrrryyyyy.
And then today I got an email with a link to Rick Mercer's blog ... with some ideas on the Harper cabinet ... check it out ... the hairs on your neck will stand up! Check it out ... rickmercer.blogspot.com
Be afraid ... be very afraid.
