Voting in a Canadian Election

I voted yesterday in an advanced pole for the October 19th General Election here in Canada.  I have voted in elections since I came of age in this country.  This is the first election where I felt so angry because of the nature of what has been happening after 9 years of Conservative government.  This is not the Progressive Conservatives of past times.  This is a deeply right wing government that has been systematically gutting the country's environmental regulations, muzzling its scientific community, participating in foreign wars, using racist rhetoric and scare tactics to dismantle our democratic rights and making secret deals they claim to be in the best interests of the country.

I do not recognize the country anymore.  We were a peace loving country.  We tried to protect the most vulnerable among us.  We introduced a universal health system.  We were peacekeepers at the UN and spoke there with moral authority.  We are now losing all of this because of a government voted in by a flawed system with only 30 percent of the popular vote.  What is the track record that has resulted?  I think Danny Williams - former Premier of Newfoundland sums it up very well:

The very fact that I am posting a video of a former Provincial leader making the comments he is on our current Prime Minister is unprecedented.  It is a measure of how low we have sunk.  God help us on the 19th if we get Harper again.
