PC>Good evening Rob .... things are cooling off here

Was pretty warm here.. In fact o warm a bunch of teeny flies
decided spring had come early and hatched out in the billions.
I'm sort of in the woods here and at their mercy. They seem
able to walk right through the glass..  Okay, this is an old
place not sealed up the best but the windows all have screens
plus they are closed anyways, but that doesn't seem to be
stopping them..  I'm busy squashing them all over my monitor screen
since that's the only light on in the house in a vain attempt
to try to not attact more of them inside. I thought this was
done with summer gone..

Takes one's mind off the election momentarily anyways.

PC> TVO had a show about it last night, very interesting, but not

No, and I'm not sure I like the idea of all those extra
seats that have to be paid for..

But a minoriity gov't almost guarantee more elections because
it's too easy to force an election when the opposition feels
a shift in support. And nothing can be put through without
'deals' being made, and in most cases deals are expensive.

PC>  Today, in the local stores, this issue is being discussed
  >and it seems that 70% are not voting.   Thats my unofficial

This is true, although usually our turnout is pretty good
regardless, better than most countries that don't force
people to vote (Australia), which I think is a really bad idea.
The only thing worse than a country full of people who don't
know enough about what's going on to vote would be forcing
those people to vote. If they aren't voting for the guy with
the best hairstyle they'll be purposely voting just to mess
up the system in protest..

PC>As for the reform , new idea, they want to know more, and
  >the idea of referendum to if promises are broken rightaway
  >the call for a contract review, and impeachment of any rep
  >that betrays the voters trust.

  >to get elected, knowing they will never carry them out.

Maybe, but a lot of them get in there expecting to be able
to do things and later find out they are impossibe without
other party support, which they don't get, or they walk into
a much worse fiscal disaster than expected and the money just
isn't there.

And of course voters respond best to bribes. They all
want a piece of the 'surplus'..  Right.. surplus when we
are over $500 Billion in debt. That's like getting a $10 a
week raise at work and wondering what to spend it on when
you have a $10,000 Visa balance..

PC>Wheres the rest of the Cannucks in Ontario on this one?

Hiding until it's over, and then they'll be looking for
someone to blame...       B)

Have a good one Peter   TTYL
