i could blame the liberals if any of the alternatives were any better.
the conservatives weren't much better when they were in, the profiteering and scandals were just as bad.
canada's problem is canadians, we're complacent and jaded and browbeaten by the system.
show me a political party determined to take the system apart and i'll vote for them.
when the reform party started i was excited. but given a couple of elections, they proved to be just as bad or worse - 'grassroots' is another way of saying 'lacking any political savvy'. when they called out their leader in public they were doomed.
the marijuana party might get in, if their target constituent ever remembered which day the lines formed. it's tough to keep up with events when you live on the couch in your parents' basement, cutting coupons off of KD boxes.
actually they did have some nifty hockey cards a few years back!
and the NDP seem to platform on a 'spend, spend, spend!' agenda, and, uh, no thanks. something tells me paying 70% of our taxes towards interest on our mounting debt isn't going to help medicare.
the liberals keep in power for the same reason the big banks in canada can get away with highway robbery - they threaten canadians into compliance, with their sheer bigness. biggiditty if you will.
and they have a point - what're you gonna do aboot it??????
