Election Time

Well here we are at another federal election and not a moment too soon. I will start off with how we got here. First of all the Harper Conservatives where found to be in contempt of parliament, the only government in the history to do that here in Canada. Second Harpers key right hand man and chief advisor for over four years, is under investigation by the R.C.M.P. at the request of the Prime Ministers office. If that's not weird enough they also revealed that he had been jailed a few years ago for fraud and even Weirder he is a man of sixty one and he has a twenty two year old fiancee. I'm sorry but that just says way too much about the type of men making deals behind closed doors about our future here in Canada. There is also the Investigation of fraud from the Bev Oda affair, she changed a legal document and then mislead the house of representatives as to who did the forgery and when. This whole mess reminds me of the incident a few years ago when one of Harpers top ministers left confidential and secret documents at his ex-girlfriends house, the same ex-girlfriend who had ties to the hells angels motorcycle gang. Or when another one of his former top ministers was pulled over by the R.C.M.P. and arrested for impaired driving, and excessive speeding, and was found to be in possession of a substantial amount of cocaine. What was interesting about that case is that he was no longer a member of parliament because he lost in his seat in the most recent election, so what did Harper do, he fired his wife who was a Conservative cabinet minister and he kicked her out of the Conservative party. Still til this day Heleana Gorgis has had no explanation as to why she was kicked out, but everyone knows its because of her husbands screw up, as if she had any control over him and all but the speeding charges were drooped.
No, I guy could sit here and write all day about the numerous screw ups the Harper Conservatives have done in the last five years. Instead I am going to do this over a few different blog entries to make it easier. One thing is for sure, am I ever glad to be going to the polls again, this time I hope we have a fair and impartial media, the last election C.T.V.'s top political journalist and commentator was sabotaging the Liberal campaign and right after the election Harper made him a senator (which is like winning a millionaire for life lottery). Almost half of Canadians turn to C.T.V. for their news and they trust that they will hear the truth, unfortunately that was not the case in the last election. Here's to hoping for a reliable and truthful media coverage from our three news channels C.B.C., C.T.V., and Global News. Anyways that was post number one, and I'm going to keep posting until I finish my rant.
