I am not sure how to really go about this. I was watching television today and was frustrated with Stephen Harper commenting on the bailout of Canadian auto companies. The most frustrating statement was something along the lines of how we are following the American government into a bailout package. So basically this tends to add credibility to my belief that Harper's government is just a Canadian Neo-Con rip off of the current GOP. It completely baffles me why so many of my baby boomer elders would vote for a government that just trails behind a completely failed and flawed leadership.
Maybe some day a wiser, older, educated individual can explain to me why these supposed capitalist/conservative governments are our best hope. It is a sad state of affairs when our tax payers money winds up feeding the rich. The government wants us to believe this is some sort of a stimulus package, but in truth it is just the laundering of stolen taxpayer money. If you want to stimulate the economy, pass the $ on to the consumer, not the people who still hold billions of dollars.
Conveniently all this craziness just occurs during the transfer of power happening in the States. So even civil unrest is cast aside because people are heartened by the idea of a new progressive government that is emerging. And yes, it is great that people have decided to choose a progressive government, however it is very sad, that an old government will never be held accountable for the crimes that have been committed. My only hope is that as a Canadian, our own government will get caught in their act of emulating an American doctrine... however naive that view truly is.
