lookinforwalleye Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Green party eh...well if the sun didn't rise one day and they were to get elected you could probably kiss our natural resources sector good bye and in all likelihood what remains of our manufacturing sector. On a positive note they would legalize marijuana and while I am not a user I would support this for the many people that it would benefit medically. On the down side if elected and May was unable to lead the government her deputy is none other than Georges Laraque.....not sure if he is PM material but he could probably punch the crap out of the rest of the world leaders. Yes indeed vote responsibly.!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmer Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 I opened this thread thinking that there might be someone defending the fiberals. I am worried that they will get back in though, as TO always votes for them. (as someone said earlier, just because they always vote for them) Sadly, I have chosen not to place a vote in the next election; I agee with Cliff, no other party really offers a better altenative, just crooks in a different colour. Someone should be going to jail over the $1.1 waste. My bet is they will get a bonus and still receive their gold plated pensiion. If no one is held accountable; there is no stopping future politicians from doing the same. Amazing how there are no laws for behaviour at a political level.

Show me one party that has been in power in the last 50 years that has been: true to their word, efficient, accountable, and un corrupt and I'll vote for them! Thats the problem bud, There hasn't been an example to show anyone. We don't hold them accountable...instead we vote them in again and give them a second round. If we kicked them out each and every time, at some point someone might just get the message. Although I'll be the first to admit it thats dulling the issue down to a very boad scope. So many variables to play into... I just wish more people really looked into why they are casting their vote. GTA is Staunch Liberal country, but very few will actually say why...they just vote red, again, and again. I simply hope people look into the platforms next time around and hold them accountable.... Vote for Harry Potter for all I care, just don't let the Liberals have another turn. Its all I'm say'n... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbailey Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 understanding politics is a lot more than reading a platform or understanding a stance on some sort of issue. Look at the US, supposed to be the american dream but that is not the reality. You can argue about all of this or really concern yourself with whats attainable and what is not. As a citizen we can guilt you into voting and say that is the problem, but realistically that is not the issue. Everyone wants to pretend like they know better. Conservative, Liberals and NDP are all pawns. If you think McGuinty is responsible for everything thats going on than you are very niave. Look into the condo boom of Toronto and why the crime rate is so low of a 2.5million population. The stretch of money goes far beyond the politics that the average individual believes.

shane Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 The only time any party is telling the truth is when they are calling the other party a bunch of liars. They are only looking out for #1. And you ain't even #2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookslav Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 If you think McGuinty is responsible for everything thats going on than you are very niave As the once elected leader he most certainly is responsible for a lot of things gone wrong....granted not single handedly. He's just the face of the party, and of course there are many many other variables. But you can't say he does not hold a senior level of responsibilty when it comes to the parties track record and more specifically Ontario's Hydro "issues" I wouldn't say casting an educated vote is the only way to change things, or even fix 50% of the issues we have these days, but I certainly would say that it is more proactive, and 100% more effective in aiding our situation then blind voting or not casting one at all. Outside of learning and understanding politics and casting an informed vote though there is very little one can do outside of actually doing somthing about it like running in an election, or taking up a political career of sorts. OR....dawning a Batman/superhero costume and busting some skulls which is WAY more fun I would imagine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 i've thought of going the "vigilante" route many times... crime has gotten pretty bad in the downtown area of my town, and the police seem more concerned with chasing prostitutes and weed smokers than they are going after the "scary" criminals... what fun it would be to dress up like batman and "bust some skulls" of the lowlifes that offer nothing to society. i could be....

Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 that said, while we're looking for the 1 billion that the liberals pissed away, how about we ask the conservatives where 3 billion in missing anti-terrorism funds went... we're doomed!

jimmer Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Everything is going to be fine now, they have announced an increase in our hydro bills, which is probably to cover the cost of any mispent funds or crazy altenative power schemes!
