   You know in advance they will be hypocrits with so many excuses, more   
   excuses than there are mosquitos in June.   
      
   So why vote for the same old?  Look up the last 30 years of broken   
   promises and scandles?  Look at the real-estate deals...   
      
   Can you tell me they will be any better?   
      
   Mind you, at least you have a choice of which two names will screw you   
   next.  (Lib/NDP).

   Yep.  We need a Tea Party on our own governments.  Get back some   
   control.  Passive voting for NDP/Lib or Cons isn't going to cut it.   
   Support a grass root movement local party or independent.  Someone not   
   in the big boys pocket with the golden handshake types.   
      
   Then a good and real change might occur.
