Selective hating
I don’t really want to get into politics.
Actually, that’s a lie.
I always want to get into politics, but lately the constant whine of conservative indignation is starting to sound like a bandsaw going through tin (that’s not my simile; I have to credit Kurt Vonnegut for that one.) With Danielle Smith moving into the Premier of Alberta’s office without being elected to it (she doesn’t even have a riding right now), the anti-Trudeau rhetoric has been ratcheted up to 11.
I am no fan of Prime Minister Pretty Boy. I vote NDP. But it is clearly apparent that conservatives only have an issue with Ottawa when a Liberal government owns more seats than any other party in the House of Commons. Before the drama teacher moved into the highest office in the land, we enjoyed nine years of Stephen Harper. (I thought he did a pretty good job. Give credit where credit is due. I sure wouldn’t want that position - everybody hates you. I have enough insecurities, thank you very much.) Here’s a list of things that conservatives have always wanted and that Stephen Harper promised:
electoral reform
elected senate
restructuring equalization payments
For four of those nine years, Harper had a majority government. Here’s how many of those promises he delivered on:
Not a peep out the conservatives.
Just saying.
The problem with government is that its full of politicians.
On a more positive note, I discovered a new artist today. Allison Russel. Canadian. Great singer. Check her out. I’d vote for a voice like that.
