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."
