Conservatives win another minority, voter apathy at an all time high
Written by Dixie Flatline
I’m not going to report the news anymore, I’m not that damn Katie Couric!
But the Canadian election finished up and so-called liquidationist Stephen Harper and his Conservative party got another mandate.
After spending (wasting) $300 million dollars to remind the Liberals that very few trust them anymore, and the NDP that they are 80 years too late, it’s basically business as usual. Again.
Voter turnout numbers are shaping up to be at an all-time low. Of course, a video I watched at the National Post seemed to know who had won, but not how many ballots had been cast yet… hmmm….
The sad part was seeing all of these rosy cheeked kids at a pub, watching the results come in, acting like it was the World Cup of Soccer in Little Italy. Ah yes, the drones of tomorrow. These are the stuffed shirts of the future, who will manage my future health, political, philosophical, material and spiritual needs as I shuffle to and fro my doctor, the polling booth, the supermarket and my retirement hovel.
I tore up my election card. I’ll never vote again. Even if they make it illegal.

Aye. Tearing it up would at least provide some momentary catharsis :\ .
