Yes, it was a bit dull but I think the four opposition leaders nailed Steve on the important issues. Whether that will resonate with voters.......???? I thought Elizabeth May did exceptionally well.

In a nutshell:

I see the NDP as caring about the social issues: environment, poor and downtrodden, healthcare, and childcare but basically wanting to annihilate the corporate world to pay for their programs. That won't fly. They can't gut the Canadian economy.

The Cons under Steve are all about the corporate world and as Steve wanted to do a few years back, put a "firewall" around Alberta's resources.....and all that at the expense of the social programs. He cares not a whit for the arts sector, has done nothing for either healthcare or childcare. The small targeted handouts for the last two were just pathetic in the scheme of things.

The Green Party is just too marginal to make a difference for most Canadians. The fact that Liz came out and said that she'd legalize marihuana and tax it like alcohol and cigarettes, will not appeal to mainstream voters (even if it is the right idea).

The Bloc is a non-starter outside Quebec. Too bad as I thought Gilles had a great haircut!

Therefore, I feel that the Liberals are the most central party caring for both the corporate world and the social issues (The Green Shift). Balance is what it's all about and what it's always been about. Go, Stephane! Go!! He isn't the most charismatic fellow but he's on the right track. The head of the TD bank, Don Drummond, said Dion's plan is economically sound and Suzuki thinks so, too. None of the others leaders has had that support.

There's my rant for today.

Kisses and hugs

Here's an interesting site:

They say to stop Stephen Harper you should vote for Hedy Fry, the Liberal incumbent.

You can never have TOO much information, can you?
