What are you voting in the next election?

You know, governing a country is no easy task, especially a large and diverse country like Canada or the US, there are regional issues, health care, immigration, the economy, etc….

I maybe over simplifying things, but good governance is like riding a bike. When you get on a bike, you start by pushing the pedal on the right side, and you make a forward right ward movement. If you dont follow with an immediate left push, you will stop/fall. Same if you push left first, if you dont follow with a right, you will stop/fall. But with consecutive right, left, right, left, you balance and move forward. Governance is no difference, if the country does not balance by voting in left leaning followed by right leaning, followed by left, followed by right, the country will stall and fail. Name me a system that ever worked by having one way governance?

Democracy at the end of the day is  not  maintained by committed left or right leaning voters, democracy is maintained by independents who let the governance pendulum swing. Are you a committed voter?

In Ontario, that Jerk Dawlton McGunity introduced the HST, snuck it in the conservatives claim, when we win the next election we will… well they are not sure, there are different options. Reduce it by 1 or 2%, reduce income tax by a couple of %,  reduce user fees. When they decide, conservatives will rejoice and beat the drum of a new dawn, a day when taxes are lower. Problem is this, Ontario is almost bankrupt, so much in debt, and guess what, government needs the money to run the oh so many flawed and pet projects. Health care broken, Power supply broken, trade broken, you name it, its broken. Haveing a 1% cut in HST (The possible conservative plan) is compareable to a 600 pound man who just ate a whole chicken, 3 racks of ribs with all the fixings, but washed it down with a “diet” coke.

No need to debate weather government needs to provide these services, assuming they do, the question is are they doing a good job at it, the answer is NO. So do we continue this cycle or does anyone have courage to fix things?

Absent any true leadership we are only left with one choice, vote conservative in the next Ontario election, followed by liberal, followed by conservative.

But suppose a leader emerges with a true and honest plan to fix things, will they get elected? If you are a committed voter will you switch your vote? Will you put your ideology aside an be willing to take a true look at what is broken and fix it? Do you always vote left or right? Ask your self is this good for your country?

I say NEVER..
