Election Eh?

Well, now we have it. A completely unnecessary election. What is it, the 3rd in 4 years or something stupid like that?

The Conservatives may actually win this one given the absolute and complete ineptitude of the other parties, but I really hope voters remember a few things when they go to the polls:

The Conservatives LIED about how they would deal with Income Trusts, and the evidence brought forth since that action 2 years ago just shows how wrong they were.

The Conservatives are planning (or were, since the election call will postpone the legislation) changes to the Copyright Act. There is overwhelming evidence that these people don't have a clue about the "Information Age" that we've been in for the past 2 decades. One of my favourite blogs has been documenting the proposed bill's shortcomings.

And, perhaps even more importantly than the previous issues, this government hasn't done a single serious thing about the growing environmental and climate change crisis. In fact, they've been obstructionist. Hard to believe in this day and age....

Canadians were worried that Harper had a hidden agenda when they gave the Conservatives a minority government last time. I think we now have real reasons to be worried.

Join the movement.
