I am so unbelievably disappointed in Canadians. We had our Federal Election last night and the lowest voter turnout EVER. Only about 59% of people felt it necessary to vote. I am disappointed that the Conservatives won ANOTHER minority government. They have blasted through our money and now we are running a huge deficit. Hey, how about you cut the GST some more and increase the military budget again, Bush Lite? That's just what we need. Oh yeah, and did I mention we are tired of having a pension and universal health care? By the way, we are so over marijuana being decriminalised, so how about you double arrests on that again like you did in your first term.
I hate when Canadians tell me voting doesn't matter. I can understand that viewpoint coming from Americans because of the whole electoral college thing. It is so disgusting to me that people are so lazy when it comes to their own political system! Canada has had 3 elections in 4 years and because of this continuing minority government I bet we will have another election again in 2 years! What a waste of taxpayer money. Stephen Harper called the election knowing it would turn into another minority government: he went into it knowing it would be a waste of money and not change the makeup of the government. Only 37% of voting Canadians voted Conservative--and the other 63% have to deal with having a PM whose policies they don't agree with.
I just want to stay home today and sulk. I can't believe how awful people are. Democracy doesn't work when no one votes.
