It looks like we're going to have a June election here in Canada, and that makes me a little anxious. I don't feel like I have an adequately firm grasp on what's going on out there politically; I also need to make sure that I'm registered here to vote.
The one thing I'm fairly certain of, at this point, is that I don't like ANY of the options.
My current impression, on the negative side of all of them:
-The NDP is too whiny, fluffy and fiscally unsound.
-The Liberals are corrupt, complacent politicos who are repeatedly elected on a middle of the road platform, but really should be running on a "whatever benefits the politicians" platform if they were only honest (yeah right!)
-The Conservatives are, well, conservative, and may move to eradicate or withold rights which I am eager to keep/gain.
And, the Green party is not yet viable, from my understanding.
What a headache.
Anyone have any suggestions on sites I can read to bone up on national and local politics?
