I had the NDP candidate leave a message on my phone.....missed opportunity. My wife said someone called her to talk politics, probably the liberals. I had a call to ask if I would support the Conservative candidate and I said, "well, he's the lesser of the 3 evils."
They asked me if I felt PM Harper was on the right track. I said "not really". She then asked what do I want to see discussed?
I told her I want to see real discussion on cutting spending. It's not good enough to just keep taxes where they are, we need to see a reduction in federal spending. I said, I don't want a few minor changes, I want a real gutting of the federal government with slashes everywhere. Then I said that the nanny state needs to be dealt with so that in time we can get away from government programs so that people will have the opportunity to take care of themselves.
She agreed with me, as I am sure she does with all the people she talks to.....
The only thing I forgot to mention that I would like to have mentioned in discussion is to bring our troops home from the middle east. I can only imagine how much we spend there every year in a fight that has nothing to do with our security (and is probably reducing it in the long term).
The talk all around this election just cements my belief that it is more about promising the world to grab votes than it is about really turning the country around and giving people their economic freedom back.
On another note, there are a lot of NDP signs in my area (a lifetime NDP supporting area). So I guess I get to have them speak for me in Parliment......oh goody.....
