I've been quiet lately on the blogging front. It is not that I have nothing to say but that when I say it, try to put my feelings into words, I feel an anger building in me that is unnecessary and I suspect damaging.
A small Canada, that is my problem. I hate to agree with liberal partisanship, but
I have a feeling that the liberal media machine has my number... Of course, that too make me angry. I want sober second thought, I want discussion with people who disagree with my ideas if not my vision, that too is Canada! I do not like Iggy's position on a lot of things and I like it worse that everything seems second to winning.
Yet, and yet.... How do you argue with people like this?
Often called low information people they do not want discussion outside of the talking point releases from their religious leaders, talking heads and fox news. They don't ask the questions I do when I read, say, a news story. The basic "Why?" would someone do this or that?
These are the same people who thought that Canada needed to get on the "world stage" by killing people, blocking international progress on the environmental front and shorting the world nuclear isotopes used to save peoples lives.
An election looms and I have to do something. I can not let the Harper government go about using MY money to tell us to stay the course and vote for them in the guise of hawking their ill-thought "economic action plan." I have no objection to the government advertising its programs, not one, but when a political message starts getting mixed in I wonder who is next to sue the conservative party.
I guess that means I'm back and will be posting more often to counter the lies, yes, outright lies, I see coming from the Conservative Harper government.
Thanks to impolitical I have a new slogan to work with:
