Provincial Election, here we go again

It's been a long time since I've had an NDP sign on my lawn.  Not since Harris and Harper.

The Liberal provincial candidate for Halton is an excellent choice.  Would love to support her.  But I think  I will vote NDP even though I don't know who the candidate is. 

Hudak is bloody frightening.  Why can't the Consevatives, provincially and federally, get normal humane leaders.  Why are they all greedy, anti female, anti science men who blame poverty on the poor.

It's a strange analysis that concludes that if there were no poor people, there would be no poverty.  Poverty is caused by lazy poor people, they claim.

Somehow, they do not see poverty and repeated world economic melt downs being related to greed.  Especially the greed of the super rich who control the media that feed us our daily dose of garbage.

In this area of Oakville, the NDP don't have much chance, but this part of Oakville is part of the greater Halton riding, where there is much more diversity and hence some hope.

So on Aug 5 at 2:35 pm, my plan is to vote NDP.    Time will tell.
