It’s not easy to make decisions and for the next 36 days we will hear a lot of promises to sway our decision one way or the other.
Today we heard Harper promise tax cuts for families by a method of combining incomes. The kicker was that they would not come into effect until the budget is balanced. That’s like promising us the moon when it drops down in our lap. Empty. Promises. No Delivery.
Jack Layton kicked off the NDP campaign with further commitments to the health care system in Canada. The corporate media kicked off their campaign by glowing reports on Tory competence while ignoring the question of their ethics. The Liberals seem to be going into the campaign with no clear agenda beyond attacking Harper’s government.
Decisions we make when we cast our votes on May 2nd will perhaps give us a majority government or yet another minority. Be cautious of who you are deciding on and be cautious about being swayed by fear mongering.
Remember that one should decide and vote for what is best for oneself. Not what is best for corporations. Corporations work to make profit for their shareholders. The majority of the population doesn’t own shares in anything. Why would you vote for the Royal Bank, or Shell Oil? The polls are used as a tool to also sway the public. Don’t be fooled. Read, research, understand and decide for yourself.
An interesting site is Rabble.ca which holds a variety of views. Check it out.
