Respect For Fellow Canadians

While making a comment on another blog post regarding a CBC segment of At Issue program, it made me realize just how important it is to constantly think about your fellow Canadians. The comment was as fallows;
I vote with the entire country's interest in mind. I don't have small children in daycare, however the young families I know find it impossible to get by without two incomes and the availability of day cares in the area is next to none. I also don't have aging parents to attend to, however I do work with people who have had to take large portions of time off to care for sick and elderly parents, all without receiving a dime from E.I. or anything else. I do have a number of young family members who definitely want to attend college or university and any programs that help them achieve that goal is welcome. I would also benefit by having a tax rebate for retrofitting my home with any of a number of renovations that qualify for the eco-home credit, thirteen thousand dollars per household put a lot of people to work in the construction industry. Canadians need to be less selfish and think about their fellow Canadians, it's not all about " greed is good and I love money" mentality.

As for Cathie's post I too was quite puzzled by the "At Issue" panel, puzzled enough to remove both Chantal Herbert's and Andrew Coyne's links from my blog page. What I don't understand is that these two columnist work for respectful news agencies and they publish articles bases on their expertise. I remember in the last federal election, this type of dismal gloom and doom directed towards the Liberals and the Liberal Party of Canada, and that the NDP would take over as the official opposition. After seeing that crap in 2008, I was surprised not to see either Allan, Andrew, or Chantal, appointed to the Senate, I guess their was only room for just Mike Duffy. I find it appalling that our media can get away this totally bias commentating, and when you look at all three major polls, it's beyond me how they came to those conclusions. The only reasoning I could come up with is either they still have hopes of making it to the Senate, or the networks need to repay by favours for all those Conservative ads and Harper Government ads. Anyways it just re-enforces the theme of saving our Canadian democracy that this election has taken on.
