Yeah, I read that on his blog even before I posted. I just didn't want to wade into the whole, "have his views changed or is this a ploy to make the party more palatable to the general public" quagmire. And yes, I knew he is your husband but didn't want to make the discussion appear like I was getting personal. I was looking at him as the VP of the WRA.
Politics has become a field where I find myself looking for the least evil. I'm not sure where my idealism has gone but there doesn't seem to be any "good" parties.
In federal politics I'm dismayed by the back room antics of the Liberals; Disgusted by the dirty smear campaign of the PCs; NDP I don't trust to run the economy into the ground; even the Greens who in previous campaigns were out there with their environmental policies used to have decent fiscal ideas, but even those are gone.
Provincially Ed has proven himself a poor leader, the Liberals had an opportunity but picked a new leader that shifted them even further away from power and the WRA I've outlined some of my issues.
And one vote seems pretty impotent, especially when it seems like any promise a party makes will be broken once the reality of governance sets in.
