Pooh Bear wisdom for Monday, 23 January, 2006...

Set Priorities
Nearly eleven o'clock is time for a little smackerel of something.

***

Calling all Canadians: please vote today. Naturally, I do care who you vote for -- anybody who knows me should know just which party I am voting against today. (And I'll be a bit more honest; I'm not necessarily voting against the party so much as their creepy-arsed leader and the agenda I'm sure he has hidden up his creepy-arsed sleeve.)

Please vote. Every vote counts, no matter how much you think it doesn't. I don't even care if you vote for That Party, please just don't tell me about it because I can't be 100% certain that I honestly wouldn't hold it against you. I mean, I don't even talk to my parents about politics for this reason.

Okay, in all seriousness, I mean it when I say to vote today. This election is a joke; I've only been of voting age for five (well, almost six) years, and I'm already seeing my third election, and I think that's stupid. I am terrified for the future of Canada. I don't know if I think that a difference can be made, that I'm wrong about what I'm genuinely afraid is going to happen in this country today. I can only say, please let your voice be heard. It's terribly, terribly important.

I can see the next several years meaning Ash is going to become more involved in letter-writing and such. Hm.

In the end, I decided that there was very little chance That Party could win in Kingston so I voted Green. I have the chance to do that here, which I never did at home.

Here's hoping my faith in the overwhelming student population and the Liberal member being Speaker of the House of Commons doesn't fail me. *G*

Didn't do that here. That's all three of "my" elections!

I imagine we'll be having another one within the next year...
