Hi Michael; 

 -=> Quoting Michael Gothreau to Peter Coggon <=-

 MG> I think that is a mistake.

 I think so too!  I think it is a mistake that we don't have
more referumduns for somethings that only the people of canada
should be decding.   In some US states they have, with great
success this process.

 MG> Vote.

 Michael.  At this time, I have seen nothing I would even give the
nod to!   Thats scarey, as I have always picked the lessor
of all the evils.  I guess Election Day I will exercise my option
as all will do, or will only 60% of the voting public turnout?

 MG> I suggest you vote for the underdog, even if the party he or she
 MG> represents doesn't have a prayer: it erodes the power of the big
 MG> abusers. 

 Have you seen the underdogs?   Their platforms are a joke. 
What is needed is real platforms and accountability which
we are not being guaranteed.

 MG> The Progressive Conservatives were handed a major lesson after Brian
 MG> Mulroney abused the Canadian taxpayer.  This was just.  This was the
 MG> will of the people. 
 MG> Now, the Liberal Party has failed to learn that valuable lesson.  The
 MG> will of the people should be exercized again.

 PC or Liberal.   Mmmmmmmmmm the same partys fueled by Bay Street.

 It matters not, by next election unless the BS is believed the
taxpayers will re-elect the representatives of Bay Street for
another go at taking more cash from your pocket.

 MG> The New Conservatives do not deserve to replace the Liberal
 MG> taxpayer-abusers.  Not yet.

 They are not in my mind "new".  Just PCs and the Reformed small
"c's"
and they were not impressive even in debate.   Even Mr. Harper
and Ex-Leasider where I came from...I can not vote for his party.

 MG> Give the NDP a chance, or give the Green Party a bigger share of the
 MG> vote, but help the people express their will.

 NDP candidates are wantabess from the Bay Street crowd.  I had one here
running for the PC riding...he lost...and now shows up as an NDPer.
Theres dedication!  Wantabees running the country.  Then they betray
their base....then they have their policys which just are downright
dumb with every basketweaver to pass scredup laws.

 MG> From the desk of...

  Perhaps what is needed is a colapse of the system and allowing
the crown via the governor general to form a coalition government
drawn from all partys.  Thats just a quick thought.  Then maybe
instead of lawyers and loansharks for the commons we might get
storekeepers that know something about building a business
and have grassroots with their neighbours and customers
to know what they want.

  Oh well time will tell...
