| I voted this morning |

I was actually a little nervous; although I wasn't signing my life away, I wasn't sure I made the "right" choice. But I voted with my heart (Green Party) instead of strategically. Right now, my riding is pretty much Conservative vs. Liberal. I still can't help but be surprised by why there is so much support for the Conservatives. Maybe I should have done more research on what good things they have in mind. So far, this is what I hear about them (or rather, Harper and his wants?): -They want Canadian support for US's ongoing war on Iraq [I am glad Chretien said no to that] -They want to put $7 billion into our military [Sure our military could use upgrades, but skip the tanks and deal more with peacekeeping. Also, $7 billion is a lot of money. I think it could be used better elsewhere, like social services and health care. ] -They reject the Kyoto treaty. All the years of planning down the tubes. What is so terrible about protecting the environment? Cuts into corporate profit, of course. :roll: -They will not defend the Charter of Rights. -They will re-open the issues surrounding legal abortions. I think a woman should be able to choose what she wants done with her body. -They would consider re-opening the issue of capital punishment. I don't think capital punishment is the way to go. One friend said he likes their ideas of tax cuts. I'm all for lower taxes, but at the same time, I am willing to pay taxes for better living [I like being able to go to my doctor and not pay money for the visit. I liked having my post-secondary education subsidized.]. With tax cuts, where will they make up the money? Cut funding to other things, of course. I don't like that. |
