Ideology wise i lean NDP but I always felt like my voice didn't mean anything in my riding. So i'm hoping that in the long run everything will turn out alright.I just fear Harper and maybe it is unfounded..i know he will not do anything drastic real quick, but i feel like he is chipping away until he gets what he want's .Governments come and go and at least we can vote them out.I just wish the 40% that didn't vote would :(..not saying things would go my way more, but when 39.6 % of the 60% that do vote get a majority i feel like a lot of voices don't get heard. I still rather have that than no voting. Sorry for hogging your blog Wisewebwoman. I'll just be down for a little today and then get on with Life and hope for the best.CorvusCorax12https://www.blogger.com/profile/02705986279180729268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-83826281693705693062011-05-03T10:20:21.644-02:302011-05-03T10:20:21.644-02:30A small quibble, Ontario went roughly 2/3 Cons, th...A small quibble, Ontario went roughly 2/3 Cons, the NDP did fairly well there. Two Toronto ridings switched from Lib to NDP (yay Peggy! yay Andrew!), one of them being my old riding (yay Andrew!).<br /><br />Another significant change: the Orange Wave brought a large number of women into the House. No other party has put so much effort into getting women into the House! Watch for Megan Leslie (Halifax), a woman to be reckoned with and very possibly Jack's successor. <br /><br />And of course YAY ELIZABETH!!! When asked what difference one woman could make in the House, she said she hated to quote PET, but, Just Watch Me.<br /><br />It ain't over...Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03787701515460812026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-47515347518544309672011-05-03T09:21:02.389-02:302011-05-03T09:21:02.389-02:30Twain:
