Must we Continue with This?

February 1st, 2006

I would like to just touch on, if I may, something that Laura said that struck a nerve with me. When you say "Canada is no better under a Conservative Minority Government," you present the arrogance of the Liberal Party to the public in blatant view. For you, Laura, to claim something that is baseless, due to the fact that we have not had a chance to begin our mandate, simply because it is against the Conservative Party, is to go against the Canadian electorate.

For you to imply that the Conservative Party is/will be corrupt simply because it is in power, is offensive. I find it deplorable that you attempt to defend a former governing party that was incredibly corrupt, and wasteful. The examples are staggering: Two Billion wasted on the Gun Registry, the HRDC Six Billion Screw Up, the Sponsorship Scandal, David Dingwall... I could go on and on, but I will save my breath.

The Canadian Electorate did not choose the Liberal party to be it's government. Why, Laura, can you not accept the Conservative mandate, and stick to the issues as opposed to berating the electorate for choosing a new government?

If only we had seen this a week ago...

I was watching CNN today(well, not really watching, nobody WATCHES CNN, but I digress) and this ad came on. Democrats are pushing the Honest Leadership Act in Congress. What is this, you ask? It's the American version of the Stephen Harper's Accountability Act. But, hold on a second. Democrats and Liberals are the same in terms of values, as the Republicans and Conservatives are the same in values. (I'm generalizing, please bear with me) What does this mean? It means that, yet again, there is proof that corruption, fraud, bureacracy, are not partisan issues. The Americans ousted the Democrats in 1994 when they felt the government was corrupt. Today, they're tired of the constant scandal and abuse of power. The November 2006 Congressional election will see more Democrats in power, and they'll be touting the success of the "Honest Leadership Act". I only wish Canadians had of seen this a week ago. Perhaps one or two would have realized that Canada is no better with change, no better with a minority Conservative government. Money follows power. It's inevitable that things happen. Let's look to our neighbours to the south, and not let history repeat itself. Vote for your values, not campaign promise to clean up government. Just a little thought.

E-Day is Here!

January 23rd, 2006

Well, here we are... January 23rd- Election Day in Canada. There's something different in the air this time around; a wind of change, if you will. After thirteen long years of Liberal rule, the "natural governing" party of Canada is about to be sent to the benches of the Opposition.

I say it's about time- After constant scandal and flip-flop, the people have clearly had enough, and in just 4 1/2 short hours, will be able to voice their dissent with the Liberal Party of Canada.

It truly is time for change in this country, and the Conservative Party is the ONLY party that can cause this change to occur. How can a Liberal government clean up a scandal that it created? Simply put, it cannot, and will not. I have no kind words for the Liberal party. They ran a terrible campaign, and the results of the vote will reflect that.

Posting in this blog has created some tension between the members of the various parties, who, under normal circumstances would be friends. I can only hope that partisan politics aside, people can realize that this truly was a battle of the minds. Intelligent, articulate points were raised at all times, and yes, the debate did get a tad heated at times, but that is what this country is all about- debate and the ability to voice concerns. I commend all members of the blog for their involvement, but do have one question for Laura: How, in your position with Elections Canada, a position "trusted to by the Canadian Electorate?" You were never elected to that position, correct? Therefore, the Canadian Electorate does not put it's faith in you- it does, however, expect you to do your job in a non-partisan professional way.

My final blog for this campaign can be expected late Tuesday morning, with what we can only hope will bring "Prime Minister Elect Harper," and "Leader of the Official Opposition Gilles Duceppe."

I'm the Biggest nerd ever!!!

Well today is election morning and guess what I can't sleep. Its like christmas eve but worse. I decided to come back to the office and guess what, there are 2 other tories in the same boat. Don't get me wrong we are working our asses off. But yet I have time to post this blog?

Well today is monday jan 23 and 8 weeks of campaigning will hopefully pay off. Now back to CPac and maybe a sign blitz

Good luck to the NDP and the Green Party

THis will probably be my last post

Happy Election Day all and all a Good Night

Stand up for Canada and THat's why I'll vote Conservative

It's almost over

I'm mentally exhausted and almost want to forget about it all. I've been working in the campaign office, making calls, canvassing and taking part in the democratic process. Tomorrow, I'm a Registration Officer, entrusted by the Canadian electors. What have we learned from it
all? We need to stop treating Canadians like they're gullible idiots who can only make a decision based on what they see on t.v. I hate
negative ads, regardless of the party who endorses them. Soundbites should not make or break an election. I want to wish my fellow bloggers an extended hand of congratulations for a well-fought campaign. I wish you the best of luck in whatever campaign you are helping with, or even if you just have a vested interest in the process. Let's hope that friendships can be mended
as of Tuesday. Here's to a prosperous (and youth-friendly) Canadian future. (And, no, that wasn't an ivitation for Conservative soundbites and propaganda in a rebuttal.)

Stephen Harper Rally

Last night I attended a Stephen Harper rally with members of the Bev Oda campaign team. It was the best time I have had on the Campaign trail. Stephen Harper is ready to lead our country into the Future and the future with Harper is bright. We the conservatives want to ensure accountiblity in Ottawa by implementing the Federal Accountablitiy Act. (something that the Liberals oppose)
We are ready to lead Canada into a bright new age with Stephen Harper at the Helm ( knock on wood)

Kyle are you working on someones campaign

Stand up for Canada

That is why Ill vote Conservative

T-Minus Three (3) Days. AH!

What a campaign this has been. From the high point of Conservative numbers in Alberta to the low point of NDP number in Quebec. Its a nail biter to the finish folks.

I'm disappointed with the Canadian people. I mean what more does a Prime Minister, or a government for that matter have to do to loose votes. I mean I could kill my neighbor and rob a bank then call myself a liberal and get away with it. What don't these people get?

I must say I'm very disappointment with this country. It sad to see that people don't appreciate the good Stephen Harper could do as leader of a majority government.

Everything the man points out is fact. The liberals spin it. People believe it. That's deception on the liberal part. Not the party I want governing my country. How about you?

that's my ran. Good Luck on E-day everyone.

Eight Days and Counting...

January 15th, 2006

It's nearly E-Day... Exciting times to be alive, and working in the war rooms of the Campaign. This campaign has solidified two things for me; one, my life will lead me into a career as a politician at the federal level. Two, I will NEVER vote Liberal in my life.

Work on the campaign trail is tiring, yet exhillarating at the same time. You gain an extensive knowledge of how to run a campaign, meet new people who share your beliefs, and you solidify where you stand and the values in which you believe in, and support. For me, those values are Conservative.

The Liberal government has not worked for me in the thirteen years it has held power. As friends of the party benefitted, the average income of the Canadian family didn't change. As the lower class struggled to put food on its table, David Dingwall charged taxpayers for a package of gum. As the average Canadian worked to earn a living, friends of the Liberal party recieved government contracts for no work being done. All of this, and the people continued to give Chrètien and now Martin, mandates to govern.

People, however, aren't stupid, and the electorate is no different. Attack ads, policy written on the back of napkins, and continual jargon and flip-flops have shown the people where the Liberal party really stands, and people aren't pleased with what they see.

To the Liberal Party of Canada? Thanks for thirteen years of nothing. Catch ya next time...
