We spent more than 50 days, during the election campaign,
running between articles and analysis that tried to draw the political maps in
a way or another, some tried to present to us the situation as if it is a two choices
Liberal or Conservative, and all other votes are waste votes, some tried to make
it looks like, no choice but conservative, some tried to use the scare tactic, Liberal
is less evil let us bring them back.
All his bring back the last election 18 months back when
the Liberal party under Paul Martin ran its first election and lost the comfort
of the majority to a minority status, people were wonder why they loss the majority,
Mr. Martin try to make it look like that he get the message, while reality he
did not get any thing, he remain governing with the same interest group that
people refused them, he remain governing with the same bad slogan “Campaign
to the left and Govern to the right” and they did, they attack US positions
and they help them as they can behind the seen, they call for strong health
care and they refuse to legislate what would guarantee that strong system.
Now come back to vote, Conservative or Liberal, it is
still non sense, we have many alternative, and the best alternative is a
minority government with a strong opposition parties, yes with s, you do not need one opposition
party or a majority government, because majority government is a dictator ship in
a democracy suit.
“Canadians
need to recall their recent experience with majority governments. Two full decades
of back-to-back majorities under successive Conservative (1984–1993) and
Liberal (1993–2004) governments have delivered largely on the demands of
corporate Canada,
not the broader electorate. For Canadian citizens, election promises seemed to
vaporize. Instead, these majorities delivered: massive corporate tax cuts; the
end of universal benefits for children; repeated attacks on Old Age Security
benefits, deep cuts for health, education, and social assistance, removal of
federal support for affordable housing, gutting of unemployment insurance, offloading
of programs such as training and welfare to the provinces, introduction and
entrenchment of both NAFTA and the GST, closer harmonization to U.S. standards
and regulations in areas such as health and the environment; and closer
integration on intelligence and military security.”
While Liberal was governing as a minority, they had a very
good opportunity to show the people their right color, and they did, they show
there capacity to turn into the right “right wing” in direct competition
with there rival, the conservative, both are fighting to proof that he is the good
right wing and best alternative that people are waiting.
Reality is both are right wing and the real alternative
is strong opposition parties and we have the New Democratic Party (NDP) and the
Bloc Quebecois (BQ), and the last 18 months proved that NDP was able to change
the budget from satisfying the rich with corporate tax cut to the needy people
with increase spending on health care and housing in additional to the
municipality pay back from gaze tax.
Many of the people movement, Arab and Muslim organizations
and peace activist approached the candidates and parties in the last 50 days
looking for their real stand from the real issues and come up with a small report
in French and English that based on a
fact that voting is a must, I wonder would you ever let any of your neighbour or
relative chose your cloth, your new car, your children education system, how
you would refuse that and accept that others would chose your representative to
the Parliament who should plan and legislate to your future and your kids
future in everything?
These organizations and groups presented the
people needs clearly and with no comprise, CMF presentation to the BQ, In french and CAF presentation to the BQ, In french also.
I think that all of us know about the NDP and the
BQ stands, example of them the statement “ M. Gilles Duceppe, Chef du Bloc Québécois”
For our best interest, the upcoming government would be a
minority conservative government, why?
With minority conservative government we will have three opposition
parties BQ and NDP whom both stand with people and the Liberal who will have no
choice but to position themselves with the people or with the corporate and the
special interest group.
If they stand with the people, so we will have
three good opposition parties, and if the stand with the corporate and the
special interest group and in this case we did win also we did united the
right, The Conservative and The Liberal. Introducing Unite
The
Right Liberals and Conservatives,
Together at Last
So our recommendation in Québec is to vote to the
BQ PAJU (Palestinian and Jewish United) and in the rest of Canada to vote for the NDP with some exception
where the candidate of the Liberal would be good asset with within the evil ideology,
there support would be an asset for all of us,
At
the end those groups working for the people in this campaign issued there recommendation
in both language French and English, so let us vote but we have to vote with Conscience
So let us vote strategically and logically?
