After almost a decade of Stephen Harper as Prime Minister of Canada, I’m tired of secrets so I’ll not keep it a secret that I won’t be voting for his party in the October 19 election.
Why? Watch the video by Blue Rodeo above.
Muzzling scientists? Getting rid of research institutions that were self-financed by the industries they researched? Destroying freedom of speech? Lying and cheating and insulting Canada’s collective intelligence by thinking we don’t care or NOTICE politicians who lie and cheat? Denying that 1200 aboriginal women being abducted and murdered is not a massive human rights and societal issue? Dismantling a national public radio service and news broadcaster to the point where reporters are capturing content on their iPhones? Not spending the allotted money for social programs that could prevent poverty while watching food bank use rise by 30%?
I rest my case and I hope Stephen Harper will be resting his briefcase somewhere else October 20th.
Please Vote and let the world know this is not our CANADA! If he wins, I’m going to need grief counselling for I will have suffered the loss of my country as I’ve always known and loved it.
Couldn’t agree more fully Karen. We might have taken an early warning when the PM stopped being referred to as the leader of the government of Canada, and instead as the leader of the Stephen Harper government. Voting day can’t come too soon for me.
Thanks Rob!
Transparency has become one of my most important values. It started with my interest in the food industry but it is definitely wanted in my government.
Cheers, K.
