I for one am sure not voting for those liberal bastards. They've screwed things up since they got in and the gun registry was the last straw for me. We in the west need to make sure we vote. Don't leave it to others to do it for you. Take some time to vote for someone, anyone other than the Liberals. They can not get in for another term. They have bullshitted since the beginning...I am with Alan. None of them are what I would be looking for to run the country, but I'll tell ya....any of them is better than Paul Martin. Don't forget about the sponsorhip scandal. Who's takin' the fall for that anyway?

Scott Stirling
A Pissed Off Canadian. :cuss:

Hello.

My name is Alan Robberstad
I am a Canadian.
One voter out of millions of Canadian voters.

Paul Martin is no friend of mine.
Liberal governments have not made my life any better.
Liberal governments have made the future worse for my children.

Jean Chretien and the Liberal Party became Prime
Minister many years ago.
Guess who was the Liberal Finance Minister.....Paul
Martin...LEST WEFORGET

Since 1993:
(1) My taxes have increased.
(2) My family's share of the national debt has increased.
(3) My personal expenses have increased.
(4) My waiting time to see a doctor has increased.
(5) My concerns for my family's safety have increased.
(6) My costs to educate my children have increased.
(7) Government interference in my life has increased.
(8) My personal debt has increased.
(9) My income has stayed more or less the same.
(10) My savings have decreased.
(11) The buying power of my dollar, in Canada, has decreased.
(12) The value of my dollar, in the U.S., has decreased.
(13) My trust of elected officials has decreased.
(14) My trust in the justice system has decreased.
(15 )My trust in the immigration system has decreased.
(16) My hope that a Liberal won't waste my tax dollars has decreased.
(17 )My dreams for a better future for my kids, in Canada,
have disappeared.

That is my story since the Liberals came to power.

I am not voting for Paul Martin's Liberals.
I am voting against Paul Martin and his Liberal Party on June
28, 2004.

I am voting for Stephen Harper and the Conservative Party.

Do I like the Conservatives?
Not particularly......I don't really like Politics.
I am not political by nature.
I am not passionate about politics.
I am a middle age guy (48).
I live in a small house on a fairly quiet street in Edmonton.
I have a wife, Kathy, and two children (ages 19 and 17).
I have no pets.
I am a middle class man.
I don't usually say too much.

Until now.

Now I am going to say something!

In 35 of the past 37 years, Canada has been ruled by:
(1) Pierre Trudeau - a multi-millionaire lawyer from Quebec.
(2) Brian Mulroney - a multi-millionaire lawyer from Quebec.
(3) Jean Chretien - a multi-millionaire lawyer from Quebec.
(4) And now we are going to vote for Paul Martin???? - a multi-millionaire lawyer from Quebec???

The leader of the Conservative party, Stephen Harper, is:
(1) Not a lawyer.
(2) Not a multi-millionaire.
(3) Not from Quebec.

Stephen Harper says that the Conservative party will:
(1) Reduce my taxes.
(2) Pay off the national debt as fast as they can.
(3) Shrink the size and influence of the federal government.

That's good enough for me.
I'm going to give the Conservative party a chance with my vote.

But wait!
Paul Martinis now saying the same thing.
My mother told me forty years ago:
"Fool me once - shame on you. Fool me twice - shame on me!"

The Liberals have had 34 years to be financially responsible.
Remember, Jean Chretien was Trudeau's Finance Minister.
Remember also, Paul Martin was Jean Chretien's Finance Minister
These people have been raising my taxes for thirty four years.
They have been mis-spending my tax dollars for 34 years.

34 years!

And now Paul Martin says he'll stop taxing and spending. No way.

Thank you for reading my story so far!

Why am I telling my story to you?

Although I feel alone, I know that I am not alone.
Your story may be similar to mine.
And you may also feel alone.
One small voter in the midst of millions of voters.

What can you and I do together to change things?

Here is my idea:
Lets you and I join up together.
Just you and I.
Together.
As a small team of two.

How can you and I fight a huge political machine?

You and I have two things that we can use:
(1) Our individual personal connections.
(2) The Internet.

The Internet is supposed to be this global zing tool, right?
Let's put it to use.

I have 27 Canadians in my personal e-mail address book.
I am sending this e-mail to each of them.

I'm asking you to do two things:
(1) Forward this e-mail to every Canadian in your own address
book.
(2) Vote against Paul Martin and the Liberal Party on June 28.

Vote for the Conservative candidate in your riding.

I have probably written this e-mail too late.
As I said I am not politically adroit.
I feel like Peter Finch, in the 1976 movie "Network", when he shouted:
"I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!"

Please, forward the e-mail RIGHT NOW!!

As I type these last few words the voting begins in less than 18
days.
432 hours till voting begins.
I hope the Internet is as fast as some people claim it is.

This may not work.
This e-mail may "fizzle out" and go nowhere.
But you and I will have tried, won't we have?

My best wishes to you.
My best wishes to Canadians everywhere.

My thanks to David Stokes from Toronto
He actually wrote this just (5) days before the last federal
election in 2000.
Fool me once - shame on you.
Fool me twice - shame on me!"

Well man that about sum's it up for me also I would move out of the country B4 I vote Liberal ever again... I am going with Harper just cuz he is out of the west really isn't a major part but it doesn't hurt.. The sponsership scandle and the gun Registration are too much for mee too stomach the missing billions this Gov has pissed away.... How can anyone vote for a man who would change a tax law just too bennifit his own company is beyond me... I so hope Harper wins this out right but at least we will end up with a minority Gov.. I am Voting for sure I take pride in being one of the nails in the Liberal Coffin...

I did vote for those bastards but that was a mistake. Not this time! I cant bring myself to vote for the Conseratives either, they are just as bad as the Liberals. NDP may be a wasted vote but I think I may give them a chance.

:twak: :x :bash:
Well, I sure as hell won't be voting for those damn LIBERALS either.
Although I'm not really thrilled with either of the OTHER parties, I'm thinking the only other real choice is the Conservatives.
Back in the early Seventies, I voted for the NDP in B.C., and wouldn't you know it, Davey Barrets Flying Circus won. Within six months, he cancelled a bunch of our cedar leases to fulfill some campain promises to the Treehuggers. Shortly after that, the whole bunch of us were bankrupt, and then the NDP proceeded to cripple the entire economy of B.C., leading to the exodus of '74, of which I was part.
NOSIREE!! I'm voting Conservative.

I'm not sure which way I'll vote but you can be damn sure it won't be for the liberals anyway!!! I'm not a big fan of Harper's as I think he comes across a bit on the too slick side for me. The NDP some of their policies don't impress me either. The Green party is a bit weird and we have a Communist running in our riding. (she'll get about as many votes as my dog would)(come to think about it my dog kinda looks a bit like her)

Warden I think there may be a calling for you. Warden for PM. Yup sounds good to me!!

I would have to say that the wood industry is a dying industry in B.C. The free trade crap with the states is seeing to that. The only thing wee have to look forward to here near the coast of B.C. is mining and gas/oil drilling and exploration. If the NDP gets in around here, everything that has been done in that direction from the Liberals will be undone in a heartbeat. I am not voting for the Liberals(too much crap about the gun regestry, sponsership scandle), Basiclly I just won't go that direction. As for the NDP, they were a hellof a party back when I was in diapers,so I hear, but they haven't helped my area in any way that I can see. This leaves the conservatives. Might be the wrong move, but it sure helped Alberta did it not? I realize that the conservitives are a whole new party, but one can hope there is some things that stay the same.
