The Canadian Election - Liberals Win Majority

1- Their scandals pale in comparison in both scope and dollar figures to the Cons.

2- As I've stated numerous times, politicians and the political system are full of corruption, kick backs etc. By all means people should hold politicians far more accountable than they currently do with greater education and involvement.

There's a reason the Scandinavian countries we drool over tend to have better governance and quality of living (despite them also having corrupt politicians like anywhere else in the world). Their people tend to be far more politically educated and involved. We get the governance we deserve.

Apathy is the enemy to a healthy and representative governance. It's fantastic however for a government who wishes to control it's citizens and effectively sell off the wealth of the country/people for short term profits and kickbacks.

"Scandinavian countries we drool over"

Lol who the hell is we???

I certainly don't drool over a socialist heavy taxed, meaningless countries globally and in my opinion most Canadians don't drool over the Scandinavian countries.

I believe the people that drool for them are the lazy, uneducated/low payed and unemployed. Folks in these categories lose nothing and gain everything.

I think there's more that matters than just that. Those are just reasons to vote out Harper.

And to not vote in Mulcair, as to make a balanced budget right away, there's going to be more cuts.

And to not vote in Trudeau, because he's going to put us more in deficit to fix those things.

If Harper's making cuts and running deficits though...

#Mulcair in #Ottawa says #NDP would create online database of federal spending that could be searched by Canadians.

@CBCNewsAlerts

I'm not sure if true transparency with government spending can ever be attained though, but the thought is interesting. Harper also promised accountability and transparency when he first went in. So it is what it is.

Is there also a website where you can see how each MP voted on each law, and brief summaries of the issues?

If not, that would be a good source of information.

liberals are winning the last couple pools.

Just wondering if anyone on CDC are voting for them?

I'll be voting liberal for sure. Need to get Harper out of there and the infrastructure/transit stuff the liberals are promising would help my commute to work a ton. On top of that the NDP have been moving more to the right which is a little frustrating.

I'm none of the things in your last paragraph, I drool over them and I'm not alone.

And FYI, those countries all pretty much have better living standards, health care, more open and accountable government, lower unemployment, better education/educated people etc , etc and are doing just fine economically, thanks.

Seems to me you assumptions are in fact entirely bass-ackwards.
