The NDP SURGE

I refuse to accept mediocrity. That is why the current conservative government must be removed from office.There is the perpetuated myth that the Conservatives are effective fiscal managers. But that is far from it and is only supported by uneducated journalists in local media outlets.

I am glad that the NDP has surged. And Will vote NDP on May 2nd. I believe, as any Canadian, that the values of democracy shall and must be maintained for future generations. This starts with the election of the NDP as either the official opposition or perhaps forming a minority government. Either Way I think they will bring great change to Ottawa, and for once a breath of fresh air.

From re-opening the constitutional debates with Quebec to abolishing the senate, the NDP’s democratic reforms are one’s that I see eye to eye with. The problem in Ottawa isn’t one of which governing party is doing the right job… it is a systemic problem that has yet to be fixed. I believe with the NDP in power they will take the steps necessary to ensure that democracy is fixed in Canada and that the Senate will be abolished rather than being kept for the sake of political strategy and age old tradition.

The billions of dollars in spending is what Canada needs in order to maintain its place in the world stage. Protecting health care and Canadian workers are the sole priority of the NDP. As a result, I can foresee a Canadian economy emerging stronger and more resilient if the NDP are able to either influence the budget even further through an opposition role or are able to implement their own policy through a minority role.

I will be watching the polls closely on May 2nd and I hope you do to.
Make a difference, vote.
