who political me?

Ok, forgive me if I ramble but I am so pissed off at our Federal Government! I mean seriously, Stephen Harper is now at that point of threatening families. How you say, well if you are a retired scientist and want to speak out against the government but have family who work for the feds you have to keep quiet because if not there is a very real chance that the family member will get canned. He has changed taxation the wealthy get to stay even more wealthy with not having to pay appropriate taxes.

His wheeling and dealing with China. I don't have to say much on this one, but hello, Harper, China has some of the worse human rights violations and the worse environmental record around! Why on earth are you making deals with them?! I mean selling Canada off to foreign investors piece by piece shows your disdain for Canada, and really I am curious where it is you plan to live out the rest of your days after you destroy Canada and its reputation on the world stage. Really? Where? The US perhaps all cozied up to your friend in the Republican Party?

I love Canada, and am a proud Canadian. Here is what I am not proud of as a Canadian. The complete lack of understanding on what is going on in our politics by most Canadians. The sheer ignorance at what is going on with respect to trade, the environment and the parcelling off of this country. The apathy. Get off your god damned asses and protest! Yes you heard me protest! The Quebec students did it and made a difference. They are not whiny or entitled, they are passionate and told everyone in the country that! They got results!

The rest of Canada seems to be so turned in on themselves that it is nuts! How is it that we are so divided. I mean Canadians talk about separating but honestly we already are. I am from NS and I will tell you that regional pride is alive and well. We need something that will bring the country together with passion, pride and foremost, understanding of what will make Canada work now and going into the future.

We have an incredibly educated population. Here in Ottawa no one's job is safe. So from the lowly whatever job you want to say is low right up to the oh so protected government workers who aren't so protected any-more  we are all at risk of having no job, and no means to keep our families fed and sheltered. Not to mention the Conservatives attack on our social safety net, such as it is!


All I know is that Canada is on the verge of a very bad crash and burn and I for one can see it coming and wonder why others have their blinders on so snug they deny it!
