Exciting Canadian Politics!
For the first time in months, I found Canadian politics amazingly interesting at the point to see the American’s insignificant and the Québec election a simple distraction!
Last Thursday was a huge blow on the pro-coalition. Prime minister Harper convinced our Governor general to prorogue the parliament. National polls said that a majority of Canadians disapprove the coalition Liberal-NDP, supported by the Bloc… Harper won a battle, but not the war.
I found the coalition idea totally refreshing. Parties with different views and opinions will have to compromise, put ideology aside, and find consensus policies, where a clear majority of Canadians would be the winners. Our votes would make much more impacts. Canadians would get more interested in politics and the quality of our politicians will have to improve.
Quebec just had an election this Monday: the participation was the lowest in history with a small 56%. The last federal election were also historically low, at 59%. We need to do change the system, because when democracy loose, we all loose.
If you didn’t support the coalition yet, please sign the petition on the website.
