English Language Debate

How annoying they all are.

Not to sound like a brat, but I can't believe these are my choices. Conservative American Lovin' suit. A Conservative Liberal suit. And a talk-to-much socialist suit. This debate actually made we want to move to Quebec and vote for the Bloc.

I gotta tell you that there really was no clear winner. Voters certainly learned nothing. I don't remember a debate so boring. Of course I gave up after an hour of bickering. I never could figure out if anyway had an agenda other then evading questions or blaming Paul Martin for the Sponsorship Scandal.

I think that one thing that I was worried about. Harper's conservatives don't want to tell the truth about their platform. That is they don't want to say what they'd really do if they formed a government because most of their ideas would be unpopular.

What I don't understand is why the babyboomers support this guy. Harper's conservative would get rid of much of the services that the babyboomers are going to need in the next 10-30 years. They're crazy if they think a Harper government will or wants to take care of them.

Also the idea of ChildCare came up. Now I also was disappointed that the Liberals hadn't made good on their promise of a National Child Care plan, but once again the Conservatives scare me. Tax Credits. Now seriously these never work Because quite simply the more money you make the more of the tax credit you earn. Then what if you are a single parent living below the poverty line. How would a tax credit help you? It won't. You won't see any benefit because you don't pay taxes. Harper basically said that he won't give money to the provinces for Child Care, so if you're really poor you'll simply be out of luck and won't be able to put your child into a decent day care. Remember they are no longer progressive they're just conservative.

Anyway I will have many more thoughts on this as the election looms ever closer :)
