PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."
I voted Conservative the last two elections because I think Harper has done a decent job in a difficult economic environment in light of the crash that started in 2008 under Bush affecting the border communities of Ontario near where I live. Windsor, Woodstock, Kitchener, Cambridge, Oakville, and Oshawa in particular have all been affected in myriad ways by the difficulties encountered by the auto plants in Detroit and Ohio, and other industries in Buffalo, to name a few.
Prior to Harper, I had always voted Liberal - it was practically beaten into me by family members on my maternal side as I'm related to a former Liberal prime minister.
As for Trudeau... I'll play a wait-and-see game before I decide if he's worth voting for, but so far I like the soundbites coming from him. Still a long way to go before he proves himself, though. Part of the problem is the Canadian balloting system where we vote for the MP in our riding and the number of MPs decide who gets to be prime minister - even if I wanted someone like Trudeau to be PM, the Liberal candidates in my particular riding have been remarkably incompetent over the past few elections. I live in a Conservative-dominated city so the other parties barely bother to campaign in certain areas.
