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...
