It’s not all rainbows and sunshine here, but a minority government led by Carney should help guide us through all of the US created financial turmoil over the next couple of years. I don’t expect he can do much to salvage what the Premiers have dismantled in each province, but Federally, country wide, we should be in capable hands. If the Conservative provincial leaders could get their acts together and stop strip mining our education, health care, and other services that would be of great help too. But I don’t see Ford going against his real estate mogul buddies to help every day Canadians any time soon. I did like to see him stab PP in the back with the $10/day child care dig he made. Clutch. But otherwise I’m no fan of the PC’S.
I am not going to lie 8 felt a little I’ll yesterday at the thought of another harsh Conservative Federal Government, even a minority one. I recall Harper doing immense damage, grinding through a surplus to give us a deficit, and then slashing health care & education spending, nuzzling climate scientists, and generally being a robotic simulation of a human being. But I was in my teens at that time, and not paying anywhere as much attention to politics as I do now. I recall him selling off the Wheat Board to the Saudis, and giving ridiculous terms to China on various trade deals (which we are still stuck with to this day). So his protege Pierre wasn’t on my short list of preferable Federal government leaders.
Singh could have been if he’d campaigned on what he had gotten the Liberal Coalition government to grant us, like the dental care thing, and $10/day child care, but he went all negative, attacking, and not highlighting what he got done for us, or how he did it. I’m not looking to vote against who I hate, but for who has a reasonable plan of action, and can show that they can enact those plans successfully. I’m glad you hate so & so, but what is YOUR plan, how do you go about it, whom do you have on your side to get it done. If he’d have shown me that instead of taking every second to sling mud, and campaign, I’d have voted NDP. But he is no Jack Layton, and the NDP needs to find that Beacon of Light again in somebody else, and fast.
But I digress. It is Tuesday and we have potential tornado warnings in the area for this afternoon around the time of school pick-up, and into the early evenings. Could get wild around here. We have water, food, gas, and the generator all here ready and waiting. It’s that time of year. Power outages, wild temperature swings, high winds, and electrical storms with higher than usual amounts of rain. Chaos!
