Elections are coming soon and one wonders if there is going to be real shift in how the country conducts itself especially regarding taxation, job creation and the involvement in the drug wars overseas because let's face it even Couillard the mistress to the ex-defense minister stated that our presence in Afghanistan is due to the struggle to control the coke trade. There are going to be some shifts in party appeal including an increase in the support for the green party as that wants to advance change towards the use of eco-friendly systems. Dion's move to call people's attention to voting "red" even if they think "green" is not having the affect that he is needs to grab an opposition majority. Red is the colour that is associated to liberal banners as well as to the Canadian flag. Dion has lacked charisma since the beginning and is always found reiterating himself but in addition he is being harried over his issue of a carbon tax, which will hurt the average taxpayer.
Harper on the other hand is not increasing his hold on the province he so dearly needs to turn his minority government into a majority, Quebec. Recent polls have shown his popularity has slumped to 18 from 25 % while the Bloc is remaining strong. There is an element of immaturity, which will cost Duceppe's gain in the province. He was asked to account for his political record over the past 18 years by a conservative MP and called the man an imbecile over national television. IT does go to show you that Duceppe knows nothing of facing his opponent with self-assuredness and try to account for what his party did or did not do during that time instead of flaring up.
The National Democratic party has my support. They are bent on getting jobs back to Canadians especially those of middle class families without the rhetoric of the PM. Harper has been heard to say that those constituents hit by the job shortages and cut-backs should invest in stocks! He mentioned that there are jobs everywhere! Well people in the steel and forestry industry who have seen further downsizing since Harper has been in power don't think so.
