Have seen lots of election articles in media.. heard lots of politicians say they don't want an election nor do Canadians.
But as I have said before an election is the highest expression of our democratic system. We need a chance to pass judgement on the current government's priorities and perspectives - building more prisons despite crime statistics, purchasing large planes without tender, abolishing long form census etc. etc.
Heard last few days our Prime Minister wants to once again, strip parties of public financing... seems to want us to go back to situation where money talks in politics. Does he really want a return to the days when large corporations determined outcome of elections?? I really hope not.
Of course when the election does come Canadians can ensure that DOES NOT happen by voting in each riding for the candidate most likely to beat a governing party candidate.
