Some Nearly Final Thoughts
There are a few issues that continue to play over in my mind. The campaing is going right down to the wire and in less than 48 hours we will more or less have a pretty good idea about the direction that our country will be heading.
Mr. Martin continues to accuse Stephen Harper and other Conservatives of harboring some secret, ultra right-wing agenda. He proudly proclaims that it is only the Liberals who will defend progressive, Canadian values from an extremist Conservative regime. Mr. Martin says that those who oppose such things as same-sex marriage, and have reservations on issues such as abortion (including myself) just don't get it. I don't consider myself an extremist... in fact, I would count myself as a pretty laid-back and easy-going guy. That Mr. Martin can continue to discriminate against those people who for whatever reason oppose such social issues, shows just how sad of an excuse of a leader he can really be.
As for the Conservatives being somewhat cautious during the past little while and heading into the final days, I don't think there is anything wrong with that. As we have seen time and time again, we have people in the media, and very often a Prime Minister who will stop at nothing to attack anything they can in order to maintain their lead. I don't think the Conservatives are worried that some of their candidates will 'spill the beans' on their alleged hidden agenda. Rather, the Tories are worried that too many people like Paul Martin will twist the truth in an attempt to portray them as something they aren't. You wanna know what the Tories are all about, go read their policy platform. Don't listen to the regurgitated vomit that freely spews from spin-meisters and an increasingly irate (and soon to be out of power) PM.
That the Liberals are apparently 'surging' in the polls and have earned the endorsement of people like Jason Cherniak, means little in the long run. Most Canadians want real change... something that the Libs are incapable of delivering. Don't take my word on it though. I think they'll see for themselves come election day.
