Below is a letter that I just wrote to one of my best friends, after a quasi-debate with him last night regarding a scandal that helped to cause a non-confidence vote, spiralling Canada into an election, less than three years since the last one. (Along with the requirement to dissolve our government on the same day that we led a NATO mission in one of the most violent places on earth right now). After verifying the facts with my would-be political co-worker, this is what I wrote:
"I verified what happened with the scandal in Parliament. It was in fact a matter of question phrasing.
Bev Oda was asked who signed the document, and she said 'I don't know' because she passed the document off to one of her assistants, or whoever it is that is a level below who does that sort of administration.
The second time, which caused the scandal, the question was, 'Who commissioned it', to which she answered, 'I did'.
They were two totally different questions, but the public was led to believe they were the same, and that she back-peddled. Do you really believe that our Prime Minister, Conservative or Liberal, would allow perjury? Especially with a ton of witnesses?
As you don't believe that I should choose a party for it's ideology, but rather follow individual politicians, I don't believe that you should listen to the media, over what is said in Parliament. If you care so much about what is being said on the Floor, you should watch channel 71 instead of channel 3.
And the Green Party will drive this country into a chaotic mess. Europe will fall in 10 - 20 years, because of their beyond liberal ideologies. The Green party, or even NDP, do not deserve a place in Parliament.
We will never not be at war; I will make sure that I at least support a party who will protect our country and our soldiers. All Liberals will go to war, even the Green party (Several years ago when I supported them, I still noticed they took no side: and you know what they say about those who don't take a stand). Liberals, though, are hypocrites - sheep in wolves clothing. They will send our soldiers, but they will send them unsupported, to die."
Who is strong enough to be US' neighbour? Only those who are not afraid to look like assholes. Stand for nothing, fall for anything. We need a leader, and thanks for a poser coalition - that wants to take power, not earn it - we have civil servants running one of the biggest counties in the world during a time of war. Amazing.
