| ^ Sadly true, MM.
A research group rang me the other day (I had answered Qs in a phone poll about our federal election awhile back) and they wanted me to participate in a political debate for $100. Debate on what, I asked. Provincial election issues. I declined as I'm not up to date on the issues. Oh, that doesn't matter, the dork said. Get a grip, buddy! I couldn't believe it. Maybe I should have asked for the list of Qs so I could check stuff for myself, but basically a waste of other debaters' time. Possibly a setup by one party to use ill-informed voters to plow through their party proposals. Whatever. I'm getting up to speed on some issues, but frankly don't see the province turning near-right anytime soon. The NDP (near socialist) look to be favourites; short-term memory voters here as this party wasted so much and fekedup so much in their last tenure. But, this is a union-strong province, gods save their souls and businesses' pocketbooks. |
