A comment on Canadian politics, government and elections.  [1 page]

Submission Content
Good Honest Canadian Citizens, who voted religiously for 35-years, are now saying they are not going to vote this election.  The problem is that the Canadian government is composed of big businessmen's kids, who only pad their retirements, and drive government for their daddies' business concerns.

This is no longer a democracy.  It be more like a monocracy, and a dictatorship.  This election as in those since Diefenbaker, we must decide which tyrant to vote for.  The Canadian voter remains undecided because there is no one to vote for.  All the politicians of today are just money concerned.  They don't care about our lives.  They only care when public outcry is too great to ignore, then they toss us a cookie.

Canadian politics seems to be 95% money focussed, 5% life focussed.  Canadians have no confidence in their government.  I think the government needs to be properly trained in the humanities.

Most people I talk to say, "I'm not voting this year; I don't want any of them governing my life and country."  They can't even govern their own lives honestly and they are killing Canada like a cancer. 

The federal government needs to be flip-flopped, and the chief of Human Resources be made prime minister...  Maybe then we'll have a government responsible to the people.  Maybe the population should just vote for the littlest guy.  Maybe then we will start to get a fare government.  We have the vote. We have the power for a day
