I find myself more and more undecided in this campaign. I went through the Liberal platform yesterday and was really not very impressed. I'm not convinced that the corporate taxes actually amount to the figures that they are putting forward, so that strikes me as a problem. Overall I think that they are aiming in the right direction, but in the wrong way.
I saw Jim Flaherty (The Hobbit) on TV last night and realised that I just don't like that guy for some reason...he's just plain smarmy. Anyway, he says that the CPC platform is the budget. Well the budget does nothing for me (not as in it "doesn't give me anything" but as in "it jsut get me excited at all"). Then there is all this business of spending that wasn't in th budget that suddenly comes out during the campaign to buy votes...I can't stand that. Couple that with the scandals (in and out, numerous failures of democracy in general, influence peddling and the list just goes on and on) and I'm really not liking any of the parties.
I'm not voting NDP or Green. I have no idea whats left....I just hope for a Liberal minority and will try to pick something/someone before the election I guess. What a disappointment.
